ARTISTS STATEMENT
I have taken nudes of myself before and I could tell you exactly how many people have my nudes so in a way I shouldn't feel this mix of emotions but I'm riddled with fear but also so EXCITED for my work to be displayed as art and for people to see the range of emotion in every photo. Even though I'm so grateful for this project to unlock this side of me I've been hiding for so long. A few years ago I wouldn't of had the courage to do a project like this but I have been working on and accepting me for me and being present with myself even when I'm at my worst.

starsign: Capricorn
biggest passion in my life: Working with women. I don't know in what capacity, but it's my passion if that makes any sense
I like to listen to: Everything! Every music genre has a time and place to make you feel something or change how you're feeling
I like to watch: I love watching series - just because you get to grow with the characters. I'm currently re-watching Bob's Burgers
I like to smell: The smell of dinner being cooked on a late summer afternoon

favourite part of someone else's body: Maybe lips, it's the first thing I notice
Why i shot myself: My upbringing was on the other end of the scales of everything this project is about. I've wanted to present myself this way to show I can be both and it's okay. A Sudanese girl who loves her body and shouldn't be shamed for it.

Books I like: Chinese Cinderella by Adeline Yen Mah, The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky and The Woman of Colour: A Tale by Anonymous
