TORMENT

Torment is a multiple-piece self-portrait structured into a pattern, where each pose represents a different stage of a mindset, capturing a range of emotions such as regret, upset, hurt, shame, acceptance, relaxation, and a sense of doom. To authenticate my inner world, I abstained from using photographic references, instead relying on my raw feelings to guide the artistic expression. The process was intense, as any anatomical inaccuracies caused me physical pain. This added layer of sensitivity allowed me to assess whether the pain I felt mirrored the experienced emotions. Overall there are 12 poses, each encapsulating a unique facet of my rebirth.
