Abstract

This project explores the interplay of photography, poetry and emotions, focusing on how multiple art forms influence human perception and feelings. By combining black-and-white as well as vibrant photos with poems about pain and inner strength, it investigates how people connect with art and how it affects their mental state. Participants answered a questionnaire on mental health and engaged with images from Athens, choosing between vibrant and monochromatic collages. The goal was to understand the psychological impact of art and photography and inspire reflection on shared human experiences, ultimately highlighting the power of art to evoke empathy and introspection
