Bulimia is a raw and unflinching portrayal of the disorder through the eyes of a woman in her 50s. Captured in a documentary and intimate photographs, the project lays bare the vulnerability, pain, and resilience of her experience.
Set in her home, the images expose the spaces where her struggle unfolds—most starkly, the bathroom, a place of both confrontation and concealment. One image shows her lying on cold tiles beside the toilet, a stark reflection of the disorder’s torment. Others reveal her body not as an object of beauty or shame but as a battleground for control. The mirror reflects her fractured self-perception, while shadows highlight the emotional and physical toll.
This unfiltered documentation dismantles the secrecy around eating disorders, forcing an honest confrontation with a reality often hidden. It is also deeply personal—rooted in my own experience with bulimia, drawing parallels between her story and mine.
At its core, Bulimia is a shared reflection of struggle and resilience—an invitation to empathy, understanding, and dialogue. It acknowledges the weight of the battle, the courage to face it, and the universal hope for healing, even in the smallest steps forward.
