‘THIRD_WAVE’ by SONYA_T
PRIMARY - 17 APR 2014
"I always found the beach comforting. I wanted this shoot to reflect the evolution in my attitudes towards my body, from Catholic conservatism right through to stripper exhibitionism! I brought along my cross earrings, and attempted to subvert their traditional connotations. I wanted to turn away from the exotic dancer-style poses, which strip women of their autonomy by placing them into patriarchal ideals. In the end, I just had fun with it, tried to portray an image of me as I see myself. Thats about as naked and vulnerable as you can get, and yet I only feel empowered by the experience."
