in the absence of you
ongoing
the series in the absence of you looks at the aftermath of a toxic relationship, marked by cheating, gaslighting, and feeling like you’re never enough. it moves through the mess of heartbreak, loneliness, confusion, and the long, slow process of putting yourself back together.
the images show moments, places, and details that carry emotion, memories, signs, connections, and all the in-between bits. ideas around womanhood, loss, self-worth, and the need for closeness run through the work. new encounters pop up too, not as answers, but as part of the chaos and healing.
in the absence of you is about what’s left behind, what still lingers, and what it takes to feel like yourself again.
