Project_ISM - erotic art & public nudity

ARTISTS STATEMENT

Shooting myself made me feel liberated. I realized that I look nothing like I think I look, and that makes me utterly happy, and scared, and self-conscious in the best kind of way. I am proud of my fuzzy wuzzy pubic hair, of my prematurely sagging breasts and of my vaginal freckles. I want to share my body, and I want people to share theirs with me. I am a firm believer that if strategically utilized, sex could save the world. Why do we long to be 'more' beautiful? Why do we crave anatomical perfection? To attract a sexual partner. Let's face it. It's built into us. But when you're having an orgasm you ain't looking at your partners imperfections, you are mentally praising them for making you feel like a marshmallow goddess and for having this incredible physical joy. That is what sex does. It takes you away from looks and into feelings. It is incredible, and it could change the world for the better. So when I shot myself, and when I saw how many others had too, it gave me a happy feeling that some people can just be proud to be their imperfect selves, and to show the world and just be at peace. One tummy roll at a time.
