“I’m Scared” is a personal confrontation with the fear and vulnerability that shape my daily life. Through self-portraits, spoken word, and film, I give form to the anxieties and self-doubt that accompany Complex PTSD, emotions that often remain unspoken yet constantly present.

This project is not about overcoming fear, but about acknowledging it, making space for it, and refusing to hide from it. “I’m Scared” turns the invisible into something tangible an honest reflection of living with a fear that lingers in my thoughts, my reactions, and my sense of self. By sharing it, I meet it head-on and allow others to see what I have spent years carrying alone.
