This series of self-portraits is a short project made as a graduation thesis at Academy of Photography in Warsaw.
2023, Zuzanna Hetman
In my project, I decided to investigate the phenomenon of recurrent, tormenting thoughts that can significantly affect my daily functioning and well-being. They often focus on anxieties and fears, causing my view of reality to be distorted. Sometimes I can handle this internal discussion, but other times I find it difficult to break free from this spiral. When I experience these thoughts, I feel helpless and trapped.

In the project, I wanted to present my personal feelings that accompany me in situations when I feel that I am losing control over my own thoughts.
Despite the personal approach, I think that many people struggling with the same problem may experience similar emotions.
