"From "The Body I Live In" to "The Soul and Spirit I Am"​​​

 

In 2020, through my photographic series “The Body I Live In”, I turned the camera on myself and faced the mirror I had long avoided — the one that revealed my body and the truths it carried.Behind my images was a life marked by deep trauma, hypersensitivity, and a constant struggle to survive in a world that rarely embraces difference.

Three years ago, my heart and body could no longer carry the weight of unhealed wounds. A wrong diagnosis, a wrong treatment, and a complete collapse — physical, emotional, and mental. Alone, with no safety net, I turned to the tools I had trained in: Bach flower remedies, homeopathy, holistic practices — and photography.Photography became my mirror and my medicine. Each image was more than a picture; it was a conversation with my soul, a way to piece together the missing parts of my life’s puzzle.In the process, I discovered that I live with ADHD from the womb, profound birth trauma, and high-functioning autism.

What society, education, and even my family saw as “defects” were, in truth, gifts. No one had ever given me the tools to thrive — so I created them for myself.Today, my work is an act of self-recognition and survival. My photographs are not only images, but living testaments to the fact that even in the deepest solitude and pain, the soul can find its voice — and keep walking its path.​
