This image is a precursor to my Spring 2016 BFA thesis show on self-stigmatization. Wanting to belong in society but fearing the position of the "other", a social space in which one is misunderstood, isolated, devalued, and dehumanized based on what makes them different. I've been putting all my time and effort into this series of 20 images for my thesis show and I would love your input!

 

Have you ever fallen victim to stigma? thoughts, Ideas, comments, advice for the future of this project. Anything you would like to see in this body of work?

Message me or leave a comment below and I will read and reply!
