No One Left to Blame by Charlie Hay is an exploration of the haunting question, âWhy?â â a question the artist has grappled with for over a decade following the suicide of a close friend. The project delves deeply into themes of mental health, societal attitudes towards suicide, and the often-silent cries for help that go unnoticed. Hayâs work captures landscapes, sites, and environments across various locations worldwide where suicides have occurred, framing them as symbols of solitude and questioning rather than places of tragedy alone. By focusing on these seemingly ordinary locations imbued with profound emotions, he encourages reflection on the narratives surrounding mental health and seeks to challenge the pervasive stigma against discussing such topics openly. No One Left to Blame is a book about suicide, yet it recognizes that no two suicides are the same. In approaching such a theme, Hay does not seek definitive answers but instead offers an invitation to a more nuanced understandingâa chance to illuminate some of the darker corners in our collective psyche.
