Object 1:  Disco ball

A shiny ball covered in mirrors reflecting light


Charlotte's Story

What my object represents

I've had a real rocky experience with my mental health over the last four years and always managed to pull myself out of the other side. A disco ball is known for reflecting and scattering light in multiple directions, mostly because the glass is essentially 'broken' - but this to me means that broken things can still be beautiful. At certain times of day, the light shines on them, which shows there are moments of joy, sadness, excitement, and calmness in life. The shattered pieces represent a mosaic of experiences in my eyes.


What I also want to share

Grief has been a huge part of my life for the last year since my best friend passed away suddenly, and disco balls were her FAVOURITE thing. Each one is unique, just like she was. They often create a beautiful pattern on the wall too, feels like she's there with me if I'm having a tougher day. I've even got one tattooed on my arm I love that them that much.


My hope for the future

More mental health support in the NHS which is accessible much quicker. Adults tend to get left at the wayside the minute you turn 16, but I'd love for Turning Point to continue supporting mental health and hopefully this transpires into government.
