Looking for Nirvana
'Looking for Nirvana' explores my non-monogamous journey and its unexpected link to childhood trauma, prompting me to confront the lasting effects of my upbringing on self-esteem. Through portraits and text, I embark on a feminist exploration, unravelling how personal histories affect our lives and reshaping an understanding of love.
Comprising four unbound booklets, this publication examines my non-monogamous connections with C and K, my bond with boyfriend E, and my relationship with self. Its non-linear design invites readers to flip through the pages in any order, immersing themselves in my inner world through themes of intimacy and the female experience.
