According to WHO (The World Health Organisation), close to 800,000 people a year commit suicide. Whilst always a tragedy, there is something more deeply felt when that death is attributed to that of a young person, a child. Among 15-19 year olds, suicide is the third leading cause of death. Of course, many links have been made between suicide and mental disorders, but there can be many contributing factors linked, including health, experience, discrimination and moments of crisis. All of these reasons come packed with their own stigmas, but it cannot be lost or ignored that a life is extinguished in torment, anger and sadness. Between 2017 and 2019, in Essex alone, there were 501 cases of suicide, giving the area a suicide rate of 13 per 100,000 people, a number far too high, and these numbers are all too often contributed to by the younger generation. By researching local news stories, I was able to pinpoint a few of the locations in which younger people had chosen to end their lives, and so sought to undertake a kind of pilgrimage to photograph the spaces at the chosen time of sunset, a symbolic gesture towards the extinguishing of light. The final photos seek to highlight the secret history of these spaces in relation to the devastating event that occurred there.
