Blue Space

This project was about people finding Blue space. Blue space is a body of water that could be a lake, river, or the ocean. By looking at a body of water it reduces your stress and anxiety levels. This helps improve people’s mental health. Southampton being next to the sea, you would think you can find a lot of parks or beaches next to a body of water, but the coast is taken up by a lot of cargo and cruise ships. The one place people go to, from the city centre, is Mayflower park. Mayflower is the closest park to the ocean from the city. Meaning a lot of people in the city can access blue space the easiest, improving their mental health. I was able to photograph lots of different people coming to Mayflower park looking out at sea.
