Information

This photo was taken with my Iphone using a timer.
The story behind the photograph is real. The emotions are real and in real time. The photograph is part of a series of photographs taken all in one night. The location, my small apartment I had recently moved into to escape the emotional abuse of the family home.
I had just got the finalized divorce papers from my former husband and still grieving losing him to another woman. I had lost a long lifetime friend in a matter of a couple of weeks. The family we made had been destroyed. I sat and cried for hours, drank wine, yelled, screamed into pillows, constantly monologuing about all the events the had happened. The divorce papers made the whole separation come full circle, that this was it, the family and husband were no more. By documenting the pain and hurt I was able to move through those feelings, heal, and come to terms with the reality of my life.
