Project description

In my latest project, I explore the emotions of people stuck in toxic relationships with particular emphasis on narcissistic abuse victims. I focus on how such experiences affect their sense of safety and identity.

In my series, the figures are placed in undefined spaces that convey the sense of entrapment. The surreal elements hint at their struggle to distinguish fiction from reality as a result of frequent manipulation.

My art is based on real stories of people who experienced such abuse.
