Olivia Mroz, 11:48 (Art (ATEP 2017))

’11:48’ is a self-reflexive series of photographs examining a link between the emotional state of chronic anxiety and childhood trauma. It focuses on sexual and emotional abuse and the overall effects of this later in life in regard to memory recall and disorders such as OCD, depersonalisation, post-traumatic stress and depression. The work is a process of scrutiny of the links between anxiety and the circumstances that contribute to it. This work continues my long investigation into the themes of anxiety, memory, trauma and identity, and operates as an outward manifestation of what are inner subjective states.
