Breathe & Choke - Studio Photography
The set of pictures that I have clicked attempt to document a story about a girl who is currently in an abusive relationship. These pictures try to bring out her pain and agony she must have felt while touching the concept of being choked by the weight the relationship carried and being able to breathe once she was able to break free. She fell in love with a man who was as sinister as he was beautiful, he dragged her into the world of shadows and she knew that from now on she would never be able to breathe in the same way again. He bound her, beat her mercilessly and choked her. He left his marks on her body for everyone to see. She was disgusted by the person she had become, submissive and despondent. Her demons and nightmares came to life every day they choked her, berated her and scared her. It was much later that she decided that she had had enough, she decided that she would no longer be choked and screamed at and she finally saw a ray of hope. She decided to kill herself, ironically when the noose tied around her neck choking her and cutting the air out of her windpipe, she felt as though after all these years she could finally breathe. She felt free as free as a bird soaring high, no one holding her back. She took off, free from the demons and her nightmares lay banished with more aspiring to be like her and with that learn how to breathe again.
