Second Thoughts

My Second Thoughts analog series of self-portraits explores the intimate journey of the bride I was ten years ago, having unarticulated second thoughts. My body was feeling what I couldn’t express aloud. Helplessly, I remained a stranger to myself, unable to define who I was or embrace my new social identity. I found myself in an anxious state, lingering in a deafening closed door, self-contemplating my non-existence. More broadly, this work addresses the social constraints women face in our society and the ongoing struggle to define their identities beyond social expectations.
