Memories fade as do photographs. In this series, I explore alternative image capturing methods alongside color and the usual, my mind. A self-portrait project that talks about manipulations others had on me which lead me to depression and anxiety to name of few. I often steer clear of issues like this and leave them for my closest confidants, but as I persevered through my academics, I met many others that suffered similar illnesses and traumatic experiences. I became a lot more of aware of my feelings and learning how to deal with them through healthy physical, emotional and mental exercises.
Art being one of them, I rendered my self-portraits with glitching, terrible focusing and found materials printing them on archival pigment paper. The technical played with concept in the abstract. While some images include my physical flesh, others use hand-written letters or matter that are symbolic to me and my experience. As the memories slowly become a blur, my character is sharper and more resilient. My work reenforces that.
