Breaking the Chains
'Everyone has a tragic tale to tell' (Moffatt, 2000). This piece explores the deep distortions and trauma imprinted on Seller’s memory, perception, and identity. Rooted by Sellers experiences with generational abuse, alongside assaults, the project reflects the way trauma distorts Seller’s reality - how it fragments, shifts, and reshapes Seller’s perception of herself. This piece centres around memories and place. It focuses on how it symbolises and represents Sellers as a person when relating to her trauma. Sellers still fears she must be like grandmother to mother then to daughter, continuing the abuse. By revisiting memories and trauma, Sellers aims to free herself of her past through photography and hopes to raise awareness for those that have experienced it.
