Archival images part 2- Spinal Brace after surgery and family

After surgery I was made to wear a back brace for 6 months post surgery this meant that it was visible over closes and I couldn’t hide it. This was very hard for me because I would get many people straining and making rude comments about what had happened to me. I decide to show the happy side of when I was in my spinal brace having my family there to support me and it didn’t stop we from enjoying myself completely. I wanted to show happiness through these images as the others are distressing and i felt there needed to be a break in that theme. I like these images of me and my sister I feel like they resonate freedom and happiness, much of the emotions I felt after surgery until all the health complications and repressions of surry came in.

Also I wanted to include some images of me as a little child before all of this was happening to me. I thought this could work really well as a start off to my book because I could arrange all the images in chronological order from the day I was born to present day. I feel like this could really benefit my book and how people who don’t know me are able to interpret it.
