About this exposition

Thesis of the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, 2022 Master Photography & Society In this thesis I will share experiences and memories as a daughter of an inmate combined with substance abuse and mental health problems. This person is my father. Through my own experiences and images, I want to see if there is a possibility for images to make it easier to talk about taboo in society, and personal traumatic memory. I hope for my project to open up this conversation. To let others in this situation know that they’re not alone with their feelings, and that they didn’t do anything wrong. This thesis consists mostly of in-the-moment writing spurs, with reflections from my own experiences, memories and thoughts.
