I took these as an experiment by putting myself in the frame. I wanted to show a ghostly feel, something a little more paranormal. I wanted to almost show what disassociation feels like in a visual sense, that out of body experience that I have had since I was a child. Like your minds way of helping you escape from the horrible things and thoughts in your head.
I was inspired by Francesca woodman for this shoot, I wanted to show my feelings in a photograph, I was inspired by her aesthetic.
I don’t think I will use this in my final display as I want that to be primarily about my connection with nature, however, it was really interesting to put myself in from of the camera to try and show some of my feelings visually. I am hoping the blurriness and the abstract content does show this idea of disassociation.
