The space in Between

Endometriosis is a pain that I have been coping with as a woman, for several years now. Trying to fight against it means physical and mental side effects. With this project, I wanted to overlap analog photos of travel and a portrait of myself dedicated to French administration. Therefore, this face is the "official one" I have on my ID card, but I wanted to show all the others, through different collages representing different stages of pain from migraine to acne through sunspots, medication, and bleeding. Mixing my portrait with travel memories to show pain was for me a way of describing that space in between imagination and representation also known as: everyday life.
