Spellbound Framing Coercive Manipulation 2024
Spellbound is a photographic series surrounding the themes of coercive control that has been inspired by the life of Mica Ellie Hill. The images follow the main character the 'fairy' as she battles to understand her own mental health and how to survive in a world not built for her. She's lost and afraid. We then get introduced to the 'fox' who pray upon this and takes her down a dark twisted spiral of lies, abuse and control. A fairytale of gore, coercive control, manipulation and mental health depicted in 7 images. Following, Ryan Robertson has been detailing the behind the scenes of the images within his documentary "Spellbound:Framing Coercive Manipulation" Which explores Mica's story, the creation of the images, artwork and the chilling music that ties it all together.
