Self-Therapia

The concept behind “Self-Therapia” explores the deep connection between our minds and the objects around us, emphasizing how these objects are not merely accessories but elements that influence and define who we are. It argues that our identity is intertwined with our environment, and objects play a crucial role in shaping our sense of self. These objects influence our experiences, filling emotional voids and contributing to our social status and self-perception. Through interviews and created archetypes, the project investigates people’s relationship with accumulating objects, reflecting different dynamics of this behavior. The visual component, through still lifes and fashion, shows how objects—whether functional or symbolic—reflect and shape our identity. The project avoids judgment, offering a photograph and a neutral perspective on how accumulation defines our sense of self.
