‘Fragments of the Past’ is a personal photographic project to primarily to help me, my own kind of art-therapy. I open up and share some of my traumatic events from my childhood and the emotions connected to the memories. These events have made me the person I am today, and by creating this project has allowed me to better process everything. Using a fashion editorial approach, I am exploring specific memories or traumas. Some of these memories have had a long-lasting mental and physical impact for me, my family and loved ones.

I am hoping that others can relate to this work and to my experiences. Being able to share this story has given me both clarity and relief. This project was made in the hope that I could help others, just to understand and know that they are not alone, with myself and others around them who know the pain.
