Shame.

How to photograph shame?
The insecurity of living as ourselves, accepting ours flaws and being vulnerable to show them to the world is a current theme on our day to day struggle. Shame can be violent and silent and if we don't know how to deal with it, it can control our lives.The painful yet beautiful process of loving ourselves and accepting everything that we are and
aren't and having the courage to be vulnerable about it. This is how we overcome shame. At least I hope so. These photographs were created with this purpose, trying to understand and capture the process of controlling our shame and insecurities and not letting it control our lives.

“Shame is the most disturbing experience individuals ever have about themselves, no other
emotion feels deeply disturbing because in the moment of shame the self feels wounded from within.”

“When we acknowledge our feelings of shame and push through them, what we achieve can be astounding.”
