I ended my 6 year relationship and this is how I’ve been processing it…

I’m not very good at telling stories or explaining myself through words, but I hope this translates…

I’ve had this satin night gown set for a few years now. I bought it at a vintage store in Victoria with the intention of wearing it on my wedding day with my partner (now ex). Long story short, we didn’t work out. Our values and goals for the future just didn’t line up anymore, and we loved each other too much to hold each other back. So we said our goodbyes.

So while I was packing up my stuff last week, I saw this set and I thought about the hopes and dreams that I envisioned myself in it and thought, this I will also have to say goodbye to. So I messaged my friend, we drove out to the lake as a storm was about to roll in and started taking photos.

I have always felt a deep connection to water. Water symbolizes emotional depth, transformation, and healing. And this may sound a bit macabre, but I’ve always been so fascinated by images of drowning women, like Ophelia from Hamlet. The concept I had for this particular shoot was that I wanted to symbolically drown this part of me that was now ending.

I don’t know what I’ll do with the set now. I’m thinking that I’ll keep holding on to it and use it for more photoshoot concepts until it’s worn and ripped to shreds. I think seeing the deformation of that would be quite moody and dramatic, and I am all about everything moody, whimsical, and dramatic.

That’s all. I just wanted to say that if you’re going through something similar as I am…a death of some sorts…I want you to know that this too shall pass. The pain and the memories will ebb and flow like the waves until they’re barely a whisper. That’s what I’m hoping for anyway.

Love,
Selene
