Blurry Stories focuses on giving a visual insight into the different realities of blindness, attempting to capture and represent how blind people, whether born blind or with sight loss, visually recreate their surroundings in their mind. This process portrays a deeper view into their world which is also my world since I was born with Stargardt disease, a degeneration in the retina that causes my sight to get blurred over time. Therefore, this project has also been an intimate exploration of myself and my relationship with photography.
