About This Project

Eva Vei

“Present Griefs, Recent Disappointmets” is a process of reconciling with my teenage experiences using the photographic practice as a therapeutic tool. By visually poeticizing feelings of self-doubt, insecurity and body discomfort, I am reconstructing, through photography, aspects of my past with greater control and agency as an adult woman. My main focus is placed on objects linked to commonly used symbols of girlhood and on the awkwardness of the body during that stage. Through this process, my aim is to replace feelings of shame with a sense of nostalgia over that period.
