Thesis (a work in progress)
“Where Healing Begins”
This body of work confronts the haunting persistence of unresolved emotions and unhealed wounds, which manifest vividly in our dreams. While the conscious mind may bury the past, the subconscious resurrects it, forcing us to face what’s hidden. Dreams become a space where suppressed memories and emotions rise, demanding attention and resolution.
Displayed at a bold size, this series of photographs confronts the viewer directly, immersing them in a space where shadows and fragments reflect the turmoil of the subconscious. The series focuses on the idea that dreams, while haunting, serve as a starting point for healing—an introspective journey of understanding and addressing past wounds as the first step toward transformation.
Through stark contrasts, deep shadows, and fragmented imagery, this work visualizes the tension between repression and revelation. The subjects are caught in moments of vulnerability—restrained, exposed, and distorted—symbolizing the emotional and psychological struggles that replay in dreamscapes. These are deeply personal images, drawn from my own experiences of being pursued by the echoes of unhealed pain in sleep.
This work is not just about pain but about the potential for growth and recovery. It invites viewers to reflect on their own subconscious as a space where healing begins—a space where peace is achieved only by confronting the unresolved. By confronting these images, the viewer becomes part of the journey toward transformation.
