This photographic series focuses on the feeling of not belonging that emerges
from the uncertainty of the body’s place in the world and from a persistent
sense of insufficiency. The emptiness created by the loss of one’s social
environment during the experience of an eating disorder forms the basis of
the series. This void, intertwined with a sense of being lost, merges with
the attempt to hold on to certain places.
The photographs bring into view the gesture of reaching out in moments when
the individual feels unseen and unheard, only to be met each time by an
endless emptiness. By tracing the marks of feeling unhomed within one’s own
body throughout life, the work invites the viewer to reflect on how vital it
is for individuals lost within psychological struggles not to be left alone
in the process of recovery.
