Leonie Hampton





I believe Leonie's project is very deep and I think that the reason why her mother let her document her illness, her obsession with boxes was because she loved her daughter and the other children and because she would do anything for them even if that means to accept to appear vulnerable in front of the others. I love the second image from above because the light is used constructively: to accentuate her desperation, to highlight that she has got problems that she doesn't want to share, memories and facts that happened meany years before and that influenced her at that moment but she preferred to keep everything for herself. And now those things are putting pressure on her so she uses those unpacked boxes to create a wall between her problems and reality, she is trying to put them on hold, to keep them steady.


I do like this project a lot  and I believe it is one of those project that you can't say no to or it's not good because it's about reality and yourself and I do believe that each and one of us have at least one tiny obsession or keep things to ourselves, things that influence us in a way or another, now or later.
