YOU DON'T HAVE TO FORGET THE PAST, BUT YOU MUST PLAY YOUR TUNE ONCE MORE SERIES

A photo series that details a musician struggling to play his guitar because of him suppressing his traumatic past and carrying the burden and shame that comes with it. The teddy bear is a representation of the past that will never leave his side no matter how hard he ignores it. Through reflection, the musician realizes that the past protects his present self as it allows him to build an illuminating future. He learns to embrace the past and heal his inner child as he remembers to how to play his soul once again. (2024)
