"If we weren't lovers, we'd be enemies." I said this to my ex while we were still together. The truest thought I ever expressed to him after spending years of watching my tongue and even my thoughts. An honest portrait of us looking at each other in our old attic apartment locked up during covid. This image, although it reminds me of a lot of pain and psychological abuse, it represents a time of growth I had to endure to be who I am today. Using film soup and double exposure this portrait symbolizes the chaos of my enlightenment.
