I am always swimming against the tide
by Morna R.E.
I want to talk about mental illness which is very difficult for me so instead I have made it into an artwork. Living with mental health illness is like being a Salmon with only one fin and half a tail who always has to swim against the tide.
Chronic pain and mental illness are very joined together and always having to struggle makes them worse.
I was born in Peebles and take my inspiration from the Peebles motto which is;
“There is growth by swimming against the tide”.
