‘WASTE OF OXYGEN’ this series aimed to represent how being inside for prolonged moments in time have had an effect on my life. In childhood I consistently had a somber connection with rooms, migrating to the UK for the first moments of my life here I remained in a room not attending school or seeing/meeting people in the all-new, surrounding area. In early adolescence, I grew to find a closeness with my room as a sense of security wrapped around me with the uncomfortable things happening occuring. The nature of which would change as I would consistently move from one house to another.Having no privacy by sharing this environment to then having a space for myself. Over time I’ve hated the idea of being always inside for a long time however it seems to have a push & pull nature that's almost indescribable. A self destructive nature after streaks of self-harm, the room can feel like an isolation hole but also a comfort that four walls can protect and shield from an unforgiving ’outside’. This series feature imagery of existentialism and gaze of metal decline, each image can reflect either stages in the real or manic space to reflect conditions of the human isolation. Film negative, choice of flash and the angles in which subject (myself) et al. are captured in a way as to not disrupt the embracing motif.
