This series is exploring the emotional cycles of PTSD, stemming from a personal experience with a former roommate battling addiction and suicidal thoughts. I entered a familiar spiral after an unexpected encounter with her this quarter. This project reflects the coping mechanisms I fall into, both destructive and healing, and how trauma reshapes time, space, and self. It is structured to mirror that disorientation, with visuals that show collapse and attempted recovery. This is not about glamorizing pain. It is about exposing the chaos and allowing room for quiet moments of resilience, even when no final resolution exists.
