In Salaman Rushdie’s words, “Vertigo is the conflict between the fear of falling and the desire to fall". This project is an exploration of the metaphorical concept of vertigo, relating it to the contradictory feelings of life - how it feels so long, yet flashes by so quickly. Prints were created from a personal image, creating a self-portrait of sorts. The various edits of the same image symbolize the different phases of life.
