New Life - MYSELF

Project: "New Life - MYSELF" Exploring the inner world through self-portraits. This is a series of self-portraits reflecting deep emotional experiences during the process of adapting to a new life in the United Kingdom. Genre and Style: Expressive Portrait. New Life - MYSELF People are accustomed to noticing only what is around us. But we ourselves are an entire universe. My new life in the United Kingdom began in March 2022. 16 self-portraits with all the shades of emotions I experienced over these two years make up my project. The main motivation for creating this project is my personal experience of adapting to a new culture and self-discovery through the art of photography. The purpose of this project is to show the depth of emotions an adult experiences when undergoing transformation with the beginning of a new phase, a new life. We often hide our emotions behind a mask of calmness and politeness, which frequently leads to depression and problems. We need to learn to listen to ourselves and release our emotions outward. The project was presented in Aachen, Germany in March 2024.
