images from my series Return to Innocence is my journey of healing. I photograph my inability to build intimate relationship and my desire to connect to other humans beings, nature, and ultimately my own broken self. I want to remember how it was to be Me before we became aware of problems around us, discovered that we unlovable and found out of existence of shame and guilt
