In the series Detachment, I intended to explore the feelings of involuntary detachment from social norms and the effects of societal pressure on young adults. The series reflects on the transition from adolescence to adulthood, which is often seen as a time of freedom and self-discovery. However, this transition is met with challenges and expectations that can lead to a heavy mental strain.
Detachment conveys the struggle of reconciling one's cultural background with the demands of modern society. The pressure to conform to social norms and expectations can lead to feelings of detachment and a loss of individuality. The project captures this experience through a series of photographs that depict withered versions of the self, struggling to find meaning in a world that often feels disorienting.
