I’m Scared is a directed self-portrait series exploring fear, vulnerability, and the inner weight of living with Complex PTSD. Through photography, spoken word, and film, the project gives form to emotions that often remain invisible, anxiety, self-doubt, and the constant tension of carrying fear in the body.

Rather than presenting fear as something to overcome, the work approaches it as something to face, hold, and make visible. It is an honest confrontation with what I have carried silently, turning private experience into image, voice, and presence.
