My third diptych, titled, “College First”, represents the common trend of how colleges treat students with mental illnesses. They protect their reputation, status, and liability first, as we see in my research paper with the common trend of forcing students to take mandatory leaves of absence. Again, the subject who has “fallen” on the ground is “melting” to emphasize distress and a whatever rough patch the student may be going through. College is represented by the briefcase and the person in a blazer helping the subject up. This is to show how depersonalized “treatment” is for college students.
