For this project, I decided to actually take photos of myself, but also play around with overlaying film strips with writing on them over the film with my portraits. During the month of November, I was having a horrible time, and one night, I drank heavily and took photos. I thought later on when I was trying to think of ideas for the project to use these exact photos because this is a side of myself that most people do not know about, which is the side of me that is not well. I have a lot of unchecked issues that I need to work on, and documenting this side of me and actually showing me was important. I usually have issues with body dysmorphia and often deal with severe body image issues. The words looking like writing on a mirror was a fun aspect of this project for me.
