The photographs were taken in my wardrobe, which is completely black inside. This creates a neutral, dark background for the viewer; I, on the other hand, was trapped in the small room and felt the oppression while taking photos.

entry description
My self-portraits represent the expression of external impressions or influences on me as a woman in the 50s. I was looking for images showing external and internal pressure on my skin, my head ... on myself.The photographs were taken in my wardrobe, which is completely black inside. This creates a neutral, dark background for the viewer; I, on the other hand, was trapped in the small room and felt the oppression while taking photos.
