my escape

this project means a lot to me. growing up, my room has always been my place to escape from the crap i was going through in my life. it was a place for me to be myself.

the following images are from my personal project entitled, "my escape". i am also submitting these for our "additional personal submissions" assignment at school (which are 7 images relating to our future goals after we graduate with no rules and 1 self portrait for phase 3):


"my room is the only place i can feel completely comfortable and be myself. i can do or be whatever i image and no one is there to judge me. i can lock myself in whenever i want and blast the music, dance naked, watch a movie, cry, draw, anything really. i think my room represents who i am and i wouldn't want to change that." - jacquie puoci, 23


"all of the junk in my room shows a story of my life, photos, posters, movies, books, those things have shaped me as a person because these things are constantly around me. so in reality its not junk that fills my room...its memories of my life." - zack brescia, 19
