Mention Spéciale
I admit to being caught in a haunting paradox: deep distress and partial tranquility. Through my photographic series 'Introspection,' I aim to express these inner feelings and shed light on the lifelong struggle within me.
The pandemic-imposed isolation has strengthened this quest for meaning. Images of women immersed in the nights of hadra issawia, dancing to rhythmic music and spiritual chants, resonate within me. These intense moments, filled with trance and ecstasy, ignite the desire to find balance between religious traditions, social customs, and family values on one side, and my profound aspiration for full, unrestricted living on the other.
Through these self-portraits, I explore my rebellious facet, untamed soul, and passionate spirit. Visually capturing my deepest emotions, traversing the layers of my subconscious, I reveal the complexity of my inner being.
This photographic series invites you to dive into my inner world, experiencing my struggles, doubts, and hopes. It is a visual testimony of my personal journey, an exploration of my identity, and a celebration of the power of introspection.
