ARTISTS STATEMENT
As easy as it is to say that I'm full on body positive, it's actually really hard to fully accept and love yourself, and your own body, without any judgement or the constant need to feel like it needs change or "improvement". A project like this, and this shoot in particular, really made me feel more like I could and should be more gentle with myself, that all bits of a body can be lovable, and grant myself the kindness that I so freely feel towards others.
