"With a few deadlines coming up, I welcomed the opportunity to play around with the camera and take my mind off the stressful stuff. I realised how I was conditioned by mainstream media to pose and effectively appear 'sexier', so it actually took some getting used to capturing myself in the manner you now see. Sometimes, I become distressed at the way the colour of my skin, or my relatively petite body, can be fetishised. Through these images, I see myself simply as I am - a woman with ancestors from another continent who had something to do with my body's appearance today."
