Prozac

This is an ongoing project that I started two years ago. I called it Prozac after a famous antidepressant prescribed for the treatment of major depressive disorder. Most people, including myself, suffer from depression every so often. I have tried taking medication in the past but they didn’t work out for me.
Instead, I began to take pictures of myself to record my state of health.
I didn’t feel right in Moscow so I started traveling in search of a place where I could find happiness to settle down and start over. It was silly to think that I could find a place where everything would be perfect, a place where I could be satisfied.
Honestly there is no problem in Moscow and every city will have pros and cons. So I keep asking myself what am I fleeing from? What kind of place am I looking for? Maybe there is no way to find such place but I am not giving up yet.
