The artwork I produce forms a visual, autobiographical narrative on self-development. This is achieved through photography, documenting my everyday life. My performance practice captures my deep fasciation and interest on arachnids. I portray this by creating performance style self-portraits, highlighting the connection between me and my creative manifestation of my Asperger’s Syndrome (ASD).
These pieces of artwork support me in navigating through difficult situations and help communicate to the world how I interpret life’s challenges. My journey of self-acceptance as well as the declaration of my Autism has provided me with a great deal of strength and personal ambition. It inevitably links to my creative process, which symbolically conveys the beauty of loneliness, vulnerability, and the power of identity.
Using a self-timer on my camera, I capture daily self-portraits of my everyday life. These portraits document the way I engage with my surroundings, presented in a chronological order, which aid in forming a visual narrative of daily occurrences.
