Essay

Animals and pets are extremely important for our mental health. I first started this photo essay during this time focusing on my roommate’s cat and all of the joy that she has brought me even during this dark time in the world. My hope is to convey the comfort that this small sweet creature has brought to me in times of hardship. While doing this photo essay, I adopted my own kitten and she made it less stressful of an environment for my roommates and me. This photo essay documents the moments both of the pets have brought me so much happiness and love. Focusing on what we do have during this time is the most important thing in the world!
