Portrait: Honorable Mention 2018 (professional)
confined. by Cristina Otero (Spain)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
This work is a sef-portrait and part of my series titled "Haunted". I created it in one of my worst moments of my life, it was either letting all my feelings out or drown myself in them. In other occastions I had suicidal attemps, but this time I decided to portray how I felt, and this made me feel free. For me, photography is therapy and this is a clear and honest example.
