You sometimes hear stories of women who had a relationship with a narcissistic man. Or been mentally abused. At least being with someone who presented themselves differently after a while. I thought it would never happen to me but unfortunately...
For a long period of time I felt very unhappy in a relationship. I became more and more distant from myself. I became someone I didn't want to be at all. I was with someone who turned out to have multiple faces. But only afterwards did I realize this. That's why I created a series to express my feelings. It also resulted in some processing.
This series of images express how I felt and unfortunately still often feel after a relationship in which I completely lost myself. A relationship where I was not seen, my pain was not felt and where there was no room for my emotions.
I've never felt so lonely. Alone together.
“Sucked dry, broken into little pieces, there's nothing left of me.”
There was literally nothing left of me, but as visible as this was, not seen...
I try to put my broken pieces together, so that I will become myself again, and the sun will shine again in the darkness.
