I’m scaredcreative DIRECTOR, photography, SPOKEN word, exhibition “I’m Scared” is my way of confronting the fear and vulnerability that are woven into my everyday life. Through this series of self-portraits, poetry and film, I lay bare the anxieties and self-doubt that come with living with complex PTSD. This project is about
giving shape to the emotions I often struggle to express, turning my fear into something visible, something real, something I can stand beside rather than hide from.
Complex PTSD has made fear a constant companion, a shadow that follows me through every moment. It’s not a fear I can simply move past; it lingers, embedded in my thoughts, in my reactions, in my relationship with myself and the world around me.
“I’m Scared” isn’t about trying to conquer this fear. Instead, it’s about learning to live with it, to make space for it, and to accept it as part of who I am. My art allows me to explore this reality, to meet my fears head-on and to share them openly, even though it’s painful
and exposing.
