Project "Into the Dark" is self-portraiture series of images, that I created for my Graded Unit in the last two months. Inspired by the works of amazing photographer Brooke Shaden and based on real experiences, not only personal, I wanted to create a story that shows the path that someone is going through in life. Everyone has some ups and downs, but the point is to keep going, not giving up. I would like to raise awareness that, despite everything, we should have hope in ourselves and not be afraid to try to change something, or ask for help if we need it. It is not a shame. The most important thing is that people should get know that they are not alone. Loneliness is dangerous and leads to many disorders. People get depressed, seek solace in alcohol or drugs, they cannot find motivation, and lose their meaning of life. In addition, after the traumas we experience as children, depression or anxiety often has an impact on our adult lives. When someone is in doubt and have no self-confidence, it is very important that they get the right support. It is also important that we do not belong to anyone and we do not have to accept a fate that does not suit us. We should fight for ourselves and follow the dreams.
I am extremely grateful to my husband Rafal Majewski who helped me to create this project.
