ENTRY DESCRIPTION
The Moment: The moment when scattered memories gather together
Why do the memories and experiences from my childhood still make me afraid?
I continuously work to visualize the memories, when I exposed to violence in my childhood.
I focus to face my traumas and express those feelings outwardly.
Even if time goes on and I became an adult, traumas from violence keep made me anxiety and interrupt other emotions, especially when I see or smell similar place that I lived when I was a child.
I couldn’t get rid of instinctive fear and depression easily, and that create continuous illusions about diverse possible outcomes.

The photo was taken near where I used to grow up.
As a child, I tried to show my feelings to other by ignoring and hurting myself. I thought that was the only way that I could powerfully indicate myself.
To express the emotional fluctuation that I felt during that period, I made holes in the film and made scratches before taking the picture.
