ARTISTS STATEMENT
I want my body to feel natural. I've had periods of wanting to lose weight, wanting to gain weight, wanting to get stronger, wanting to shave everything. I want to embrace my body as it is and have it be perceived for how it exists as it is, and use it as an extension of my art without feeling like anything has to change, and I Shot Myself was a refreshing form of this after a foray in to sex work earlier this year and taking very structured, detail focused photos for my own art. I've never examined my body before without the intention of changing something.
