Avoiding being seen isn’t about appearance—it’s about safety. When feelings are dismissed or criticized, You learn to hide. A photo freezes a moment, and that makes you vulnerable. You never know how people would react—laugh, judge or ignore. The camera stops being neutral and becomes a threat. A photo is like a loss of control. You don’t control the angle, the light or how others will perceive you. The exposure is difficult. You are not afraid of looking unattractive, you’re afraid of feeling powerless again—like when a bad photo became a reason for others to laugh. You don’t recognize yourself in Photos because you’re stuck in a role. Growing up You were told “be serious” or “don’t stand out”. Over time those massages hardened into your identity. You begin to see yourself through others eyes. When You don’t recognize yourself in a photo, it’s not about looks. It’s about never meeting who you are outside of expectations. I don’t want to record my existence at all. A photo is a proof:”I was here”. But if you grow up feeling unseen, the habit of leaving traces never forms. This isn’t about disliking photos. It’s about not wanting to exist. Every picture quietly says:”I’m worth being seen”. But if you grew up feeling like your presence was too much, why leave evidence? You erase yourself—from frames, memories, stories. The body remains, but the sense of self fades. That’s why I turn away from the lens—because somewhere deep down, I’m still not sure I’m allowed to be here.
