ARTISTS STATEMENT
I have always felt modest and lacked confidence in my body. This is because I grew up training as a professional ballerina and was constantly criticising the way I looked, as I was dancing in front of a mirror every day. However, since I quit ballet, I have dealt with a lot of body changes and also growth in my mindset, which has led me to love my body in the shape and form that it comes in. Ishotmyself not only allowed me to express my nakedness but also provided me with the opportunity to show another version of myself. Additionally, Ishotmyself gave me autonomy over my body. I felt that during this shoot I was able to remove some of the stigma associated with sex work and being nude, creating a safe space to share body positivity. Overall it was an empowering experience!
