You End There, I Start Here

My project is a personal visual diary exploring emotional boundaries and self-acceptance through the lens of childhood trauma. It focuses on the dynamics of emotional and mental safety, particularly the process of reconnecting with negative emotions. Through symbolic and staged images, I reassess my relationship with myself and others, as well as the behavioural patterns that have shaped my identity. The project marks a turning point in my practice, shifting the focus from other people’s stories towards my own experiences. I use photography as a tool for self-understanding and reclaiming my emotions, reflecting on the importance of emotional boundaries and the process of healing.
