I turned to analog film, capturing intimate glimpses of domestic spaces and infusing them with local ingredients previous to development. This bound the images to the context from which they originated, through the destruction of the film's emulsion.

During this process, there was a shift in my perspective, where I began to perceive the negatives not merely as images, but as survivors in their own right. Delving into the nuances of bruise formation, from initial trauma to gradual healing, I explored how color and shape could convey the passage of time and emotional resonance on the film itself.

Divided into two distinct aesthetic explorations, the series unfolds as a dialogue between skin and space. The first segment features images resembling bruised flesh, with the original exposures captured within the walls of my own home. In the latter half, domestic appliances and spaces serve as canvases overlaid with the bruise color palette. Through this juxtaposition, I sought to illuminate both the physical marks of abuse and the psychological toll of living in an abusive environment.
