Fracture Points

Fracture Points is a photographic series that explores the complexities of intimate relationships through a female lens.

Drawing on my own relational experiences, attachment theory, and conversations with friends, the work reflects on recurring relational patterns, including shifting power dynamics, emotional entanglements, and a shared desire for connection. Through constructed and spontaneous scenarios, the project aims to capture the tension between illusion and reality, leaving space for ambiguity and the viewer’s own interpretation.

A fracture point is the moment at which a material fails, breaks, or separates into two or more pieces under sustained stress. Thoughts and emotions in intimate relationships are often experienced more intensely than in platonic ones. Things can appear black and white, or even theatrical, which I explore visually.

Having struggled to find contentment in romantic relationships, and often feeling an urge to withdraw, I became interested in the patterns I repeatedly fell into. This curiosity led to many ongoing, honest conversations with friends, in which they shared their own experiences of relational tension and desire. These exchanges served as first-hand research and inspired the imagery for this project.
