WHY ARE YOU
CRYING?
The photobook "why are you crying" constitutes the first part of my thesis project. Through a visual narrative, it raises awareness about the subtle abuses that creep into relationships.
Abuse is a silent intruder, insidiously sneaking into our days, exploiting the cracks and hiding in the shadows that haunt us. The photographs aim to unveil the complex emotions that arise when loving someone who oppresses and hurts you, as well as the process of breaking free from such a relationship, the healing process, and self-discovery.

watch as i disappear
by the violence of your hands
it all takes me back
to the white and translucent lava
and as the seagulls pretend to be statues
watching as you spit on me
i make a promise
to not let myself die as ophelia
drowned in a river of blood and semen
nothing white is good or pure
all the pain finally turns in to water
and, as i set fire to you god's temple,
i can, at last, tell you
why i am crying.
