Inspired by iconic 1980’s thrillers like Beetle Juice and Poltergeist, 'Manipulation' delves into the enduring impact of childhood trauma echoing into adulthood. The use of shadows and anonymity (hands) convey the insidious presence of the manipulator and the haunting nightmares it induces. Each image depicts the essence of psychological turmoil, where past scars intertwine with present struggles when facing The Self.
