breach

As a child I was deathly afraid of the dark. My imagination always made me think of the things that might appear in the darkness. Because of these fears, my godfather gave me an emergency light so I could protect myself. Over time, things got better and my panic faded away. 

As a teenager, I began to have insomnia, night terrors, sleep paralysis, etc. So many sleepless nights. I was in a constant state of anxiety. Everywhere I went it felt like all eyes were on me. Nights were always the worst, fear kept me awake. Every day was a battle until my body couldn't stay awake anymore. Whenever I closed my eyes I felt something staring at me from the darkest corners of my room.

“Breach” is the exploration of my oldest fear. With it I seek a way to understand the roots of my anxiety, by reconnecting with that dread and paranoia; recreating a scenario from my nightmares.
