52 WEEKS

Self portrait photography, taken once a month for an entire year.


As the year progressed, my weekly self-portraits became reflections of myself: what I had experienced that week, what my struggles had been, what I had contemplated, what I was working on, etc. At the end of each week, I sought to create a photograph that uniquely captured the essence of that week. I grew in my ability to portray emotions and concepts through photography, and also became more bold in my self-expression through these images.

After the year was over, I then created a piece that allowed others to experience each image as I did, by first sharing a one-word emotion tied to the week, and then allowing them to flip open that week and see the image associated with that emotion.
