Disembodiment

This project dates back to 2015 when, unknowingly at the time, I was entering a period of depression. I was coming to the end of something important in my life and consequently did not know what the future would look like.

These images were an attempt to capture those intangible feelings that took over my mental space and sense of wellbeing - feelings that were extremely difficult to articulate at the time which often made me feel disembodied.

Looking at them today, they remind me of how lost I felt in what was once a familiar world – incapable of expressing myself and, having not a single answer to anything that once made complete sense.

This poem may offer some encouragement for those going through difficult times:

​Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.

Leanard Cohen, "'Anthem'
