Title: Blue Hour. There's this time or episode when I feel very anxious, very empty, lonely, sad, melancholic, and always think about the worst possibility of life, such as destruction, death, failure, past traumas, and so on. When it happens, I feel like I couldn't function properly and disinterested in life. I refer that time as "The Blue Hour".
Title: Haunt. I am still haunted by my childhood trauma that still "grow" inside of me, becoming part of me that alters my perception of reality back into the past trauma. Reflecting on the psychological concept of "Inner Child", in which when you grow up, there’s still a “child” living in your mind (the inner child) and the inner child is going to influence the way you think, feel, and act, as an adult.
Title: The S(h)elf. This picture is a reconstruction of my past, the inner wounds, and traumas due to the conflict of values and identity’s rejection during my childhood. I tried to depict the fear, sadness, and discomfort, in response to identity conflict of being a “feminine boy”, which does not conform to society's expectation of a "masculine boy".
