From "i'm not explaining this" series.

"For all the things I didn’t know how to say —

This project is an exploration of what it means to share vulnerable work. There is a safety that exists within imagery, giving the ability to express something without language, or explanation. This exhibition includes 39 prints, but derives from a larger body of work that spans the last 10 years. Shot entirely on medium format and 35mm film, these photographs are a representation of deeply personal experiences; a story of navigating the weight of life & grief without knowing how to articulate it." Statement from Emily Warnock.
