Photography project

Brain injury matters are working with Belfast Exposed photography creating an exhibition. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belfast_Exposed

The group have been tasked to take some photos to show ‘my life now’. Mine are below: I think you can tell I’m still the same person with the same interests and passions just my body needs more work to function.

1. I always liked exercise but now I need to ensure I do daily exercise to support my physio.
2, I always liked art but now I have a real passion for painting. It allows me to work on my dexterity.
3. I have always loved make up. This was another passion I kind of loss through brain injury taking away some motor skills but it is also slowly returning.
4. This was a teddy I had as a child wearing the glasses I got from the brain injury. This is representing how brain injury brought out the child like things I detest like being so dependent on people and not able to do as much alone.
Bit of fun. I love a Baileys coffee. I just love coffee and the caffeine is probably more essential now than I would like to admit.
5. Wheelchair: just represents the hateful reliability.
6. As an adult I have always loved to cook. The brain injury challenged me to create new ways to make it easier with 1 working hand. Here is a photo to illustrate my cooking now, not just as ‘free’ but I would say planned and neater.

They are my photos I have chosen to represent ‘my life now’
