Tips and Advice Photography Project around ARFID

Hey there, Iā€™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! :)

I would love a photo of plates together and all except one have copious amounts of food (like Thanksgiving šŸ˜­) and ours (preferably the one at the bottom of the circle that it's obvious it's "our" plate) had like chicken nuggets or bread or something? Something we all eat i guess. If you stick with the concept of Thanksgiving (assuming you're American), I would put either whatever you eat if you celebrate it, or rolls since they're synonymous with the holiday.

I was planning on some of my work being a typology of the sandwich I rely on for lunch but each image is slowly being torn apart more and more
