‘BEAUTIFUL_WORK’ by

PRIMARY - 12 SEP 2016
"I shot myself in my own backyard, which is falling apart and filthy, but that didn't stop me from trying to be as glamorous as possible. I wanted to make the metaphor of how I see my experience in the sex industry. There may be aspects of it that are trapped in the past and falling apart but the girls always manage to shine on, and do what they want to do. Women making the choice to work in this world are not oppressing themselves, but instead are taking something rotten and turning it into beauty for their own empowerment. Just like my backyard is full of rotten wood, rust and dirt, I can still turn it into something beautiful. What I am trying to say is that in order to criticise the adult industry, don't blame the working girls who aren't exploiting anyone. Expressing our sexuality is incredibly empowering and a beautiful thing to do."
