Befriending a Schizophrenic
Richu Joseph George
As human beings, we have a tendency of not believing in things unless we experience them ourselves. We need proof for everything and tend to react in strange ways to the things that we do not understand. We hear about people with mental disorders being mistreated in school, work, on the street, and just about everywhere they go. There are a lot of misconceptions and misunderstandings regarding mental illnesses that are responsible for creating these situations. So, it has become of utmost necessity to educate the public in every way possible. With this photo series, Richu Joseph George puts the audience in the shoes, or better, in the mind of a schizophrenic.

Clearly not impressed.
Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
Corona has taught me not to plan ahead too much. So in 20 years, hopefully still alive.
What is a good design for you?
Anything that has a feeling of life in it.
What was the most challenging experience during your studies?
Changing my whole outlook on photography and life itself. Also online classes, those were a huge bummer.
Who or what inspires you?
I always look for inspiration in different art forms, so, there is no one thing or person.
How do you approach a new project?
Read, comprehend, imagine, draw, shoot, improvise, adapt, overcome.
What advice would you give to students who just started studying in your programme?
Keep an open mind. There is no right answer to art. Listen to your inner self. Don't think too much, just create.
Have you changed during your studies? How?
Yes, my mind has opened to new things. I have dipped my toes into different art forms and started new hobbies which have changed my life in many ways.
Why did you choose to study in your programme?
To expand my knowledge, get good exposure and find the path to my future.
