When a young woman becomes overwhelmed by the daily routine and depression following a breakup, she often neglects her skincare routine and avoids looking at herself in the mirror for a period of time. This observation struck me one day while I was shopping; I overheard a girl telling a salesperson that she was going through a difficult period and, consequently, had abandoned her skincare routine. She then recounted looking in the mirror one day and realizing that she had completely forgotten herself. Drawing inspiration from this stranger’s story, this photograph portrays a girl who, in a moment of clarity, decides not to forget herself. She chooses to attend to her own well-being, even as she navigates her challenging daily life.
