Resilience - A year in Pictures is a pictorial roadmap chronicling my journey through the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Join me as I share my story of resilience from the perspective of my camera.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit in early 2020, my life was looking promising. I was on a path of self-discovery and reconnection with my healthy self through writing and photography. Despite being an amateur in both fields, these creative pursuits were instrumental in nudging me towards a more balanced life direction while navigating recovery from a debilitating Eating Disorder (ED).
I had recently established a website, The Picture Healer, a creative space and platform that was enabling me to explore my place in the world through writing and photography. In doing so, unknowingly, I was leading myself to a safer and far more productive place mentally.
Resilience - A year in Pictures is a pictorial roadmap chronicling my journey through the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. My story is relevant for all; together, our individual stories of struggle reflect the experiences of our community and wider society. Resilience is about adjusting our vision and nurturing ourselves through times of challenge and change. Join me as I share my story of resilience from the perspective of my camera.
The Resilience Exhibition by Sam Tench is on show at Geelong Library & Heritage Centre throughout the month of May 2022.

Library services first began in Belmont in 1885. Our current library was officially opened on 28 October 1982 by the Hon FN Wilkes MP, Minister for Local Government and his Worship the Mayor, Cr PF Ward JP. The building was renovated in 2010 making it a modern, pleasing and community-centric library environment. The renovated library was officially opened by the Hon Richard Wynne MP, Minister for Local Government. Belmont Library is a large and busy hub within easy reach of the High Street commercial precinct.
The Geelong Regional Library Corporation acknowledges the Wadawurrung People of the Kulin nation, and the Gulidjan and Gadubanud Peoples of the Maar nations as the Original Owners of the lands on which our library services operate. We pay respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge and celebrate First Nations Peoples of this land as the custodians of learning, literacy, knowledge and story.
