Final Image - Self Harming - SECOND IMAGE OF EXHIBITION

The reason behind these two photographs combining and being merged together is the fact of this HELP aspect of Self Harming. Throughout my research I have understood that asking for help is difficult for Self Harming victims, this photograph is showing that the victim is upset and hurting but can not ask for help because she is unsure on what others will think when she says she is a victim of Self Harming. Another reason why I decided to create a photograph such as this one is because of the interview I conducted with the victim in the photograph, and she stated that it depends who the person is if they want to ask for help or not but personally she could not ask for help she needed due to family issues, so she suffered in silence where others do not know what they are going through.

I feel that this photograph is really showcasing what individuals do not see in Self Harming victims it speaks to the audience in a way which is powerful and emotional, it makes audiences question what they believe in.

WITH MY EXHIBITION - this photograph is going to be A4 and in an A4 picture frame, I am putting the frame up with sticky pads a couple being on the back of the frame and the same on the exhibition wall. I am having some writing with each photo, which will be on card and will either be to the side of the photograph or underneath the photograph. The writing for this particular image is 'Asking for HELP! Is something which is a scary process for them nobody hears them asking HELP! they suffer in silence, it is as if they are locked in their own bodies'.
