In the project "Self-awareness from Within," I strive to confront my complexes through photography, revealing different facets of my life that I used to hide. I attempt to capture daily what I feel and see. The project includes both snapshots of moments from my life and staged photographs in which I try to expose my insecurities and emotions. These are the first photos where I pose nude, and indeed the first photos where I show my body at all. Although at times it is challenging to share certain photos, as it makes you think a lot and fear judgment, confessing to myself through self-portraits makes it easier. It helps me to make changes within myself and better understand how to cope with issues.
