Hollow

Being constantly surrounded by visionaries, I have noticed that creative blocks are common, however they are not often spoken about transparently. Over the past few months, I have fallen into a deep rut which has resulted in a doubt of my skills in the craft I hold so dearly to my heart. Humans are ever-evolving beings and the shift of artistic style in one’s work is not considered a category of change deserving of strong emotions, yet I’ve had them anyways. 

Hollow focuses on my emergence from the creative block through the meditative process of weekly photographing. My mind is filled with images untaken and ideas unexplored, and I have forced myself to create them. I normally would have let these images build up and disappear before giving myself the chance to photograph them. 

In exploring vulnerability and intuition, I have seen what visual and conceptual content my subconscious gravitates towards creating. I told myself I was not ready for nude photographs. I realized that it did not matter whether I was ready and if I consistently told myself these thoughts, I would never become ready. Through the utilization of these therapeutic processes, I slowly healed my creative vision into a stronger version of what it once was.
