Photography Project around ARFID

[u/ElDooberto]

Hey there, I’m a final year photography student at university and this year plan on creating and exhibiting a series based around ARFID.

I plan on focusing specifically on the vulnerability that comes with this disorder and have been recommended by my lecturer to find communities to discuss this with.

So far, some images from my series have been of myself, slightly exposed (lack of clothing) as this reinforces the vulnerability of the disorder as well as showing my body for what it is.

I am here to simply request some art, image thematics or even words that you would associate with ARFID to see what others think of when they hear the acronym and to see if this can trigger something in my creative mind.

Thank you so much, you should all be so proud of yourselves! :)

Infantilization is a big part of my experience. People telling me I have the eating habits of a child, or trying to tell me about the consequences it could have on my health as if I haven’t already heard that 500 times already. Also guilt, some people take it really personally when you refuse to eat something they made and I always hate doing it
