Feminine Melancholia explores the diverse and complex nature that is female melancholy. As an anthropologic observation, the female melancholic exists as a subculture of women who experience deep sadness throughout their lives, that exists as part of their identity. Feminine Melancholia manifests the abstract notion to female sadness through a collection of visual experience, illustration, narrative, photography and creative writing for women to connect and find a sense of solace within.
