Self Injury

One of five images created around the subject of phychological disorders. This image deals with self injury. Before this project I new very little about the subject, but after talking to a number of people who self harmed, I learned that although by no means an answer to problems, self harming was a possitive thing to the sufferer -in that it helped them deal with what ever they were going through. One girl described to me how she used to self harm, because she couldnt deal with the emotional pain, she gave herself a physical wound she could tend to.
