Story & Message:

The image pictures a person who cut off all the narratives that she had about herself and is in a transition phase: she knows that she doesn't want to go back to the past, but is a bit unsure of what the future holds. We all have periods of rumination over some changes that we went through in life: "was it the right thing to do? what if I destroyed my life by doing that?". The truth however is that we have pieces that we can't put back into a sheet, but we can glue something new and absolutely amazing from of them.

From my project “Paper Cuts”

Every story is made up. All the stories that we hear about the world, the way things work in it and what our place in it is have been made up for us by our parents, school, society. However, when we realize that everything has been made up, now it’s our turn to tell ourselves a new story. And this story can be anything we ever wanted it to be. It won’t be easy. But it’s possible to forget all the stories that were bringing us down, and create our own, the one that will empower us - from scratch. But to do that, we need to cut the old stories first.
