Hunted (5)

A series about life pressure, performance anxiety and imposter syndrome. How the stress and an imminent threat catch up and run over me.

A Midsummer night

This is the first of a series where I constantly feel hunted. Where I don’t really know what’s chasing you but that the threat is steadily growing. From one of the starting points after a lovely midsummer night …

The pressure rises at the same time as the burden finds new ways to weigh me down.

Pressure

The pressure is taking over and I can no longer find any paths to dodge along. I see that the pressure and the threat are one and the same but I still can’t understand it. Everything is so fun and exciting. Something is crooked, and it destroys the view ahead.

Hunted

After a few challenging but fantastically wonderful and fun years, I came to the end of the road. Under constant pressure, it was finally time to caress an elaboration gently.

Hunted – a series of images (now 4) where I work with the unidentified press creeping on. I understand that I need to face it but am still determining what the threat looks like. Where it finally devours me.
