Here I were

Because of my psychology events in the past, I cannot believe anything I feel or see. The brain always lies to me. And it makes me feel I am slowly floating away. Whenever I feel floating, I take photos. Rather than insubstantial memories, photos are physical memories that can help prove that I exist.

The darkroom is a place of emotional liberation for me to make me sure I exist. Being in the dark in the darkroom, I express the feelings and memories of the day on the film's surface. With stack of film and the physical weight as that evidence that I existed, I find my peace.
