I carry the weight of childhood scars
Silent echoes of a past long buried
Where words were never spoken
And the wounds, unseen, quietly festered
Over the years, the silence has grown heavy
But now, in whispers, I slowly reveal the truths once locked within
To heal, to forgive, and free my soul

These are wet collodion self-portraits. In them, I push my body to its limits, deliberately subluxing or dislocating my joints to create these monstrous images.
