Imagine that you are trying to push a ball into a square hole. When you push the ball towards the hole, it moves in a different direction. After multiple tries, the ball is finally in the opening of the hole, but you discover that the hole is too small. This is how I would describe my attempt to control my body when I suffered from an undiagnosed eating disorder almost 30 years ago. The photographic series Weight Bearing is a series of self-portrait photographs that depict the invisible feelings that I associate with my experience of trying to control my body’s size and force myself to fit within society’s ideal body image. Using tropes that are associated with a variety of everyday situations and inspired by the reports increased eating disorder support requests during the lockdown, I hope the images help those who are struggling with an eating disorder find their voice to seek help.
