Artist Book Photos + Statement.












My human-heart shaped book is an exploration of the emotions and traumas I went through growing up, ranging from my childhood to my highschool years. It starts off innocent—photos of myself in child-like princess dresses playing with my childhood favorite food, potatoes. Then the book slowly gets darker, to represent my diagnosis with extreme anxiety and depression. During this time, I was put onto medication that made me very sick and confused, so growing up became very frightening. The book slowly becomes more positive, with hints to my growing love for fashion and art. The motifs of bows, candy, lace, and rhinestones represent the hobbies that helped me through my depression and anxiety and become the person I am today.
