This is a book for a project titled "The Visual Metaphor Project".
When we talk about insecurity, we think about the crippling fears and the sadness that engulfs us. Our mind tells us things we don’t wish on others. Insecurity even causes us to react in ways we normally wouldn’t; Sometimes we lash out in anger, sometimes we find ourselves paralyzed by the words of others.
Even if we know that we are insecure, and surely everybody has something they wish to hide away - alone in the dark - , it is only through acknowledgement of our fears and compassion towards ourselves can we then truly start to help ourselves.
Insecurity burrows through us in intrusive little pathways and, akin to a termite infestation, we don’t find out until damage has been wrought. Using circles and text, I aim to express the cyclical journey of recovery through images and storytelling.
