Pieces of Me

2024 - 2025

My internal timeline is woven byfragmented memories of immense joy intertwined with medical traumas. Factualinformation is difficult to retain, as it lacks the emotion needed to anchor mein the present moment. I recall the sound the gravel made underfoot as mywaters broke, the sterile cold of intravenous medication entering mybloodstream, coupled with the clinical smell of hospitals. The hot, full-bodyrush of a success, the mortifying anxiety of feeling exposed.

After receiving a late AuDHD diagnosis, I’ve found these fragmented pieces ofme that were previously floating - detached, have fallen into place,allowing me to see my whole picture. For the first time in my life, everythingmakes sense, and I feel complete.

Utilising medical scans to illustrate pivotal moments in time where memorieshave formed, the work in this series pairs intricately constructed narrativeswith deconstructed, damaged film. Collectively, the images intend to convey theparadox of my neurodivergent mind as I try to balance my desire to be seen withan overwhelming need to hide.
