Exploración Autoetnográfica Vinculada a la Inhibición Emocional Mediante el Autorretrato y la Experimentación de Medios

Abstract

The project “Emotional Inhibition: Inevitable Break Self-Portrait” is the result of an artistic research-creation process based on the visualization of emotional inhibition and its effects on a person. Through self-portraiture, the work acknowledges the importance of mental health in today’s world and the fundamental role that interpersonal and family relationships play in individual development. The research artistically addresses how emotional inhibition, also known as emotional repression, can negatively affect individuals’ mental health and communicative and social capacities in contemporaneity. The project combines a theoretical foundation centered on psychology with an autoethnographic approach, allowing the creative process to become a tool for reflection. Through media experimentation, it seeks not only to express repressed emotions but also to provoke an emotional response in the viewer, inviting them to connect with their own emotional experience and question their relationship with unexpressed feelings. The project is documented through a narrative memoir that details the artistic and experimental process involved in the work.
