We often find ourselves in situations where we are required to fake our happiness so as not to worry others (or maybe they just don't want to hear it).

'happy, the animated photo-series', explores the discomfort of being unhappy -- and letting others know about it. Each week will feature photos of 'feigned happiness' -- where subjects will recount instances of being unhappy in certain environments, and how it affected them in the long run.

Though internal in its initial run, the goal is to collect a library of stories from various backgrounds and all walks of life, creating a database where we understand why it is important to be open and honest about our emotions. Conversely, it will call upon society at large to remember that things may not always be as they seem.
