Exploring the intricate dynamics of my relationship with my father, 'Swings and Roundabouts' looks into the challenges posed by his drinking and controlling behaviour in my childhood. Additionally, it delves into the experience of navigating young adulthood without a paternal figure and the profound impact this absence has had on me. This project serves as a personal exploration, delving into aspects of my life that I've long attempted to bury, now hoping to confront and accept.
