ARTISTS STATEMENT
I spent most of my life hating my body, feeling as though it was a horrible vessel that trapped my soul. I struggled with anorexia for years, trying to starve myself into a shape that I could accept. Before this project, I had never taken a nude photo of myself. I decided to shoot myself so that I could take control of my perceptions of my own body and learn to accept it just the way it is.
