The Pain Monster
The Pain Monster is an intimate portrait of the struggle I have faced living with chronic pain due to a traumatic brain injury. Like many others who have suffered similar injuries, this agony is a relentless 'monster' that lurks within me and remains hidden. It is a part of my life. In the form of a photograph, by using camera movements, and prolonged time exposures, I have found a way to confront this pain and give it a face. The Pain Monster has been exposed. This project is a hope of solace and inspiration to all who struggle with physical and mental pain. It is a strategy to find a way to tame and conquer this suffering.
