Auto Portrait / Self Portrait Post Partum

This film takes a deeply personal approach, examining the emotional landscape following the end of a romantic relationship. It consists of a triptych of self-portraits, with entire camera rolls manipulated through extreme interventions on the celluloid. Each segment presents a different phase of the relationship, from passionate attachment to conflict and eventual liberation.

The film's structure is punctuated by quotes about romantic love, which are scratched directly into the filmstrip.

The handmade quality of the film underscores the personal nature of the work, making it a significant exploration of emotional responses to love and loss.
