HOLYDAY
HOLYDAY narrates the inner experience of recovery from Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the aftermath of two interactions with death. It features my family members as the main subjects, enacting night terrors and flashbacks, isolation and ideation, as well as moments of comfort and beauty. It is photography, not as an answer or a question, but as a place to go when the world is otherwise loud. Shot in black and white 35mm film, the majority of the photographs have been taken in or around my house and garden, or in spaces visited with family between the years 2021 and 2023. Combining moments from the daily life of my family with rearranged domestic scenarios and constructed scenes, HOLYDAY externalises the inner-world of someone coming to terms with life as marked by the terror, loss and joy of survival.
