24 Frames: Just Maybe – Brianna Trevino

A girl finds that maybe she’s alright after all.

When trying to come up with a narrative for this project, I actually had some trouble. To forge something that could also feel like me felt so incredibly difficult for some reason. Eventually, I realized that a story that felt the most like me could be a story that centered me. Not necessarily that I would be the visual center but the emotional center.

A little before this project’s concept was introduced to me, I had gone through an experience of losing friends. This loss wasn’t because of some elaborate fall out – it was because of a growing and evolving difference between me and them. I was exploring, discovering, growing, changing. Eventually, it felt as though we could be  together in each other’s space but we were no longer actually ‘seeing’ or ‘understanding’ each other. The distance and insecurity I had during that time – I think – helped sculpt the narrative to be what it was.

In the end, things will work out they way they are meant to be. I’m grateful to this project for helping me look into myself a little more than I what I would have.
