Self
The self refers to the degree of awareness we have about ourselves and the integration of our different cognitive processes. This series of photos were taken between 2011 and 2015 as a form of self-therapy through which I explored (by way of catharsis) aspects such as illness, lack of love, frustration, etc…
The self-portrait is a very powerful tool as it increases self-perception and acceptance. It also enhances the unconscious creative process by allowing the expression of emotions and pain, giving a therapeutic catharsis through art.
This project is the seed of my future work as a therapeutic photographer and facilitator of personal development processes through workshops and photography sessions with women.
