Since I can remember, I was always a worrier. I would find myself caught up in my thoughts, daily. I digested a lot of what my family underwent and felt the pain of others deeply. This led me to put them first - leading to self-neglect. As I got older, I recognized this unhealthy relationship I had built with myself. I knew to change this I had to accept who I was and what I wanted.

Being behind the camera has brought me to view my life in a different way. Ever since I was a young girl, I always felt small and less than those around me. As a photographer, I've become drawn to capturing a larger perspective of the world. Many walks alone during after-hours has given me the time to reconnect with myself and my environments. This is a collection of images of places that I've stopped to record a moment where I felt alone but worthy of what's around me.

What I was once afraid of, I now gravitate towards and embrace. Being alone is powerful and gives me the strength I lacked prior.
