Destructive Silence

Destructive Silence examines the lived experience of mental health, with a particular focus on eating disorders. The work draws upon the long-term physical and psychological encounters, using photography as a means of processing and articulating recovery.

The series constructs a visual narrative that moves between documentation and reflection, foregrounding both vulnerability and resilience. Through the inclusion of everyday objects, the work situates recovery within the routines and materials that shape it, revealing how these seemingly mundane elements carry emotional and psychological weight.

Alongside this, self-representational imagery introduces a more visceral register, using the body to communicate states of overwhelm and internal conflict. Together, these elements aim to raise awareness of eating disorders while emphasising the possibility of recovery, not as a fixed endpoint, but as an ongoing and deeply personal process.
