The Transitory Self
2015-2016
Photo series
This project was originally conceived as a photo diary with an open-ended theme during a transitional period in my life, with the only goal of using photography for therapeutic purposes. The resulting series is presented in diptychs combined with pieces of texts that intend to shed a light on how mental health issues have affected me throughout my life, showing how it's not just a passing thing based on circumstances but a condition I live with every day.
