Slow Burn is an intricate examination into the complexities of female experiences by confronting the prominent influence of societal expectations and gender roles, delving into trauma, discomfort, vulnerability and rage. It centers on the theme of female discomfort as well as the aftermath of such experiences—decreased self-esteem, self-sexualization, social withdrawal, and avoidance that often arise from these interactions. The series of black-and-white analog photographs employ straightforward and experimental techniques, and involves the intentional degradation of the film, which underscores temporality, the physicality of the body, and emotional dissociation. Female anger is not only a reaction to these conditions, but a primal, unapologetic force of reclamation, defiance, and unvarnished realities, disrupting silence and asserting presence in the face of structural oppression.
