In my life, I never learnt about coercion and stalking, I didn’t understand how someone could control you through nothing but words, until it became my reality.
I now wish to share this reality through photography to raise awareness about coercive control and the damage left behind. Most people know me as Skye, but this series started to reveal my true identity of actually being called Emma. Skye is another layer I can hide behind, for now he may be gone, but for me he always remains.
