self-portraits

healing, 2022

a series meant to be viewed through the lens of love and compassion, ‘healing’ is a visual diary depicting the vulnerable and painfully liberating journey of emotional healing and self-evolvement that takes us through a non-linear process of breaking, repairing, and, ultimately, self-acceptance. the images capture the dance between the feeling of hope and determination that draws us towards the golden light - a symbol of freedom - and the fearful hesitation of the unknown that pulls us back into the safety and familiarity of the darkness.
