I explore the symbolism of the duvet and the way we connect to parts of ourselves both in a nurturing, nourishing way and through necessity. I am interested in the way people’s expressions soften once they are wrapped up in the comfort of a blanket, and how we are often brought back to a place where we feel instantly safer, and more at peace. I am also interested in how the duvet represents a coping mechanism for those with mental health problems as well as being a source of strength and recovery. Although to some this very thing that helps them can also be a source of confinement and restriction. The slideshow below is an excerpt from a larger project still very much in progress, shot via facetime, and over lockdown, turning the camera on myself and those close to me. If you’d like to be considered to be a part of this project via facetime or video call shoot please email me!
