“When the covid outbreak happened I was obviously limited in doing things to distract myself, being in my own company wasn’t something I was familiar with and the thought of being in my own presence would taunt me. I always had to be in the company of someone else. Feeling the need to be busy all of the time is a trauma response, in fear based distraction from what you’d be forced to acknowledge and feel if you slowed down, however being in lockdown gave me no choice but to spend time with myself. I feel some people are scared to be who they want to be and this is why I’ve also created this project to show the importance of taking that step back and concentrating on your own well being. People often say you should be alone in your twenties, I never really understood this until recently, however this project is about choosing me.”
