"A year or so ago I reached a milestone with the way I viewed my body and found myself working in a strip club to try and celebrate that and express my sexuality. I found during that time that the experience was in no way about me or my journey but about what fulfilling the consumers desires. Instead of feeling empowered I left the job feeling raped of my identity. In mainstream porn I feel like women are merely there to be consumed and used rather than appreciated, celebrated and empowered. Finding out about this project was very exciting for me as I felt as though I could be in control of how I express my sexuality in a space that I feel most comfortable. For the shoot I gathered a few of my favourite items including my guitar, crystals and my plant (Kima). I played an old playlist of mine and allowed myself to roll around and be free with my body and environment. It was actually quite an emotional experience. I felt an overwhelming amount of gratitude to my new found self and to ISM for allowing me the platform to express all of this so naturally. I am very excited about sharing this journey with the world."
