My artist book is a collage/text combination exploring the
hard times I had while growing up. During my childhood, I struggled with severe
anxiety disorder, instances of self-harm, and bouts of depression. Despite all
this, I ended up becoming a stronger person through my love for art and
fashion. The photos taken for this assignment range from glamorous and
dreamlike fashion shoots invoking child-like innocence and daydreams, to dark
and twisted versions of the same outfits. These represent the darkness I suffered
through as a child, but how I healed myself through clothes. The book will be a
collage of these photos, pieces of fabric and lace, and bits of texts from my
childhood diaries. The book itself will be in the shape of a human heart, and
tied shut with pink ribbon.
