Destructive Catharsis
This project is about coping mechanisms used when processing something emotionally challenging. For me, this meant incinerating my ex-partners belongings that were left behind after a breakup.
I wish someone could have warned me how tough first breakups truly are, the constant inner saboteur and continually wondering what I did wrong felt extremely overwhelming to say the least. I wanted my images to convey how I felt as accurately and uniquely as possible without being too literal. Note to self: Fragile tape does not remove easily. This project allowed me to heal and understand that it’s okay to give yourself a break sometimes and that I deserve better.
