Ephemera

This project is titled ‘Ephemera’. The meanings behind this project stem from imposter syndrome and feelings of isolation. The title felt fitting for my project as I wanted to portray the topic of social anxiety as a physical being. The concept of my photos are surreal, using textures and fabrics in urban settings that standout and contrast against the background. I work with self-portraits, disguising myself in fabrics to create sinister figures. The purpose is to portray insecurity, self-perception and a lack of confidence toward inserting yourself into a setting. I played with the idea of ‘sticking out like a sore thumb’, feeling highly noticeable in mundane situations. The use of contrast and colour accentuates this out of place individual.
