"Can I Regret My Invisibility?" Digital photography, old windows (triptych) $800
Shadows of my self, reflected in old windows,
like worn out structures of an old life, constraining, limiting
I continue to reframe my self, with time
Can I regret what I wasn’t?
The sense and state of Invisibility can occur through various personal impacts, framed within the story of each one's life, whether through cultural or psychological confines or traumas.
As an immigrant, language barriers create restraint in communication, causing disconnection, withdrawal, and when serious enough: invisibility.
In my photography, by including myself in the images, I make myself visible. But invisibility lingers in memory, tinged with regret. How visible are you?
