The starting point of my work is the self-awareness itself and the emotions associated with it. I chose
a topic which is very difficult to understand, but I try to show a comprehensive picture of the period I
discuss visually in my diploma work. I deal with the self-esteem, anxiety, but above all the urge and
compulsion to conform, but it requires a more complex explanation. It is a general problem with a
growing tendency, increasingly intensifying in our generation. How we deal with it plays a big role in our
life stages.

If I want to meet everyone’s expectations I have to put on a role, which is not who I am. After a while I
saw, that I lost my own personal uniqueness that defines me. That was the period when I realized, I have
to intervene. The constant anxiety, false ideas in my head left a mark on me. A challenge, a fight, a
moment that makes us try. All of us have something in our lives that we need to overcome. We have to
face these problems, but what we do, how we process it in ourselves has a huge impact on our lives. It is
easy to let these feelings poison us, to let the uncertainty take control but there is nothing easy in the
process of letting go. But if we stay in this world of false notions, it stops us from releasing these mental
and emotional blocks we have inside us.

I process my feelings and I respond to them with my own visual answers. I want to simulate a world with
similar emotions. I want to recreate impressions of a state, which guides the recipient in a certain
direction, and tells them visually the period I lived through. A collection of photographs, metaphorical
examination of the topic, silent, still pictures summarizing an emotional period.
It is not easy to understand these emotions, how could we easily identify with the past, what once was
but now is gone and never will be back again or at least in not the same state. I have to trust the
recipient. After all the process of understanding is not purely rational but instinctive. Still the recipient is
required to be willing to linger over the images. Adapt to them, assimilate, integrate them in their
memories for a little while.
