About the Gallery
A general feeling of unwellness overwhelms. People begin to ignore you for what you did, and even those closest turn their backs. You feel lost and do not understand the situation. So you look at yourself in the mirror and perceive a reflection that you are not fond of anymore. And that the small amount of hope you were holding onto is starting to fade. You finally admit that you are, from now on, alone, out of any possible focus, forgotten in an imaginary cell, badly wounded and reduced to the size of a freckle, a fragile net that can be torn at any time. You finally recognize that you are left behind.
About the Photographer
Nedra Jouini, 25, is an engineer and scientific researcher by day, but a photographer, wanderer and storyteller by night. She started taking pictures in 2007 as a chance to escape from the boredom of her boarding school. Since then, she has mainly focused on emotional behavior and human delicacy through blurred portraits and staged photo-shoots. “My work evolves around illustrating feelings and complicated human emotions,” Nedra says. Nedra has showcased her work in both group and solo exhibitions in Tunisia and the United States.
