The Room - Narrative Self Portraits

The Room is a stark, introspective series of self-portraits that confronts the emotional terrain of grief, isolation, and the fractured search for identity. Working with only natural light, gesture, and composition, the images strip away artifice to expose the raw architecture of loss. The confined space and recurring window motif act as both prison and portal—framing a world just out of reach. Subtle shifts in light trace the slow, unrelenting passage of time, echoing the way grief lingers and reshapes us. Influenced by the Dogme 95 film movement, the process was immersive and unflinching: not a performance, but a re-entry into memory, sound, and sensation. The final images hint at release—quiet, tentative, but hard-won.
