Project Info

Philippine

Philippine is a young girl with social difficulties who takes refuge in her inner world

My sister is 22 and chose to quit her studies, she currently lives at my parent’s house. Philippine has an obvious difficulty to take part in the world. It comes through with her anxiety towards school, the workplace and a difficulty to create relationships outside the family circle. She isn’t present on any social media platform and she’s not easily reachable. Social interractions are not obvious for her.
Philippine is a young girl who doesn’t have the life we would expect from her. Far from a seek of experimentation we would expect for her young age, her way of experiencing the world is oblique. She cultivates her inner world, the one where she feels safe.
