Introducing "Separation of Property," a vivid and evocative self-portrait that artfully challenges preconceptions and invites deeper reflection. In this photograph, a woman sits in a bar, sipping a glass of wine, with a stark presence - a loaded pistol resting casually on the table. At her feet, an open suitcase overflows with banknotes.

This arresting image is a potent commentary on a form of gender violence often concealed: economic abuse. It narrates the compelling story of a woman who reclaims her financial independence and escapes an oppressive relationship.

"Separation of Property" is intentionally designed to provoke a certain impression. The elements of the pistol, the suitcase brimming with money, and her femme fatale aesthetic might lead one to perceive her as a villain or a criminal. This misdirection is deliberate, inviting viewers to embody the judgmental response that victims of economic abuse too often face. It prompts us to question our own biases and preconceptions.

This photograph is a visual story of empowerment and resilience, reminding us that appearances can be deceiving. "Separation of Property" challenges us to look beyond the surface and acknowledge the strength of those who have navigated the complex terrain of economic abuse.
