Each day I left you on the edge

Each day I left you on the edge aims to explore and emphasise the vital need of having a space of my own. I spent my life in a fog, I lost sight of reality, and myself along the way. I was not really looking, nor questioning most things in my life. I accepted circumstances as they were. The norm, or so I thought. My needs became nonexistent. I wondered how I had survived, barely, squished, a sense of suffocation pervading me.

I began to photograph the objects that surrounded me, items that hold comfort or personal value. Over time, I started to include myself within the images, asserting my presence in the space I had claimed. Through this process, photography became a way of holding space for myself, for my needs, and for a presence that had long been deferred.
