Untitled

Over the years, I have gone through some tough trials. It started at the beginning of high school when I began to lose interest in the things I loved, like painting or sunbathing in the light that comes through my bedroom window. I stopped taking care of myself, which also resulted in not attending classes, not eating properly and irregular sleep. I began to lose my thoughts along with my creativity. I was in my own world and I lost myself in it. Since starting university, I have realized that I want to get better and it has been a long and challenging process. Throughout this past year, I have been a lot happier than I was the past couple of years and I am really proud of the progress I have made. It was a slow process but it feels good to come to the realization that I will be okay. Yes, there are still some rough days, but it is not the end of the world for me. This series consists of self-portraits taken in my home and is about the process of my own healing, to remember who I am and what I like to do. Life can be tough sometimes, and sometimes your vision and thoughts can be clouded without you noticing it. Getting better is not a fast process but, eventually, with time and effort things can turn out for the better.
