‘FRAME_AND_FLESH’ by

RELOAD - 24 FEB 2020
"Taking part in 'I shot myself' again after 2-ish years flowed freer than the first time. My relationship with my body although not shifting a huge amount, but now with more experience of all the facets of growth we have been through. I found I didn't try and shift my body into 'flattery' or try to accentuate the 'desirable' and found a very comfortable ease of accepting all of the views I have of my frame and flesh. I enjoyed the removal of the male gaze from my own opinion and view of my body as I was sitting on my dirty hallway floor thinking, "I ain't doing this for some man to see me". I think that's the difference from my first shoot, I no longer need/seek any validation from an outside source, let alone a man."
