SERIES NAME: “HABIT” (2021)
‘Habit’ emerged as a creative outlet to help me navigate being diagnosed with ASD, ADHD & Endometriosis – all within a single year.
The series portrays the repetitive, self-soothing behaviours I rely on in my day-to-day routine, contrasted with photographic records of out-of-place items found in my surroundings. The visual pairings reflect the tension between the comfort of routine and the challenges of navigating an unpredictable world.
I made this body of work during a challenging period full of shame, internalised ableism and imposter syndrome, but I now reflect on it compassionately, knowing I’ve embraced pride in my identity as a neurodivergent, disabled, and chronically ill person.
