‘TAKE_CONTROL’ by ANAAH
PRIMARY - 06 JAN 2025
"While taking nude photos of myself at home, I felt a mix of freedom and joy that I hadn't experienced in a long time. It wasn't just the act of physically undressing but of shedding my inner layers, leaving behind any insecurities or judgments. The camera was my partner, and the mirror, my confidant. The soft light streaming through the window illuminated my body in a way I had never noticed before, highlighting every curve, every line, as if I were finally seeing my own beauty in a true way. I felt empowered, as if I were in complete control of the moment, of how I presented myself to the world, or rather, to myself. With each click, I realized I didn't need to fit into imposed standards because what I saw through the lens was authentic; it was me. The sense of freedom was immense. There was no need to hide or cover parts of myself. I accepted and celebrated myself, and by capturing that moment in photos, I realized I was creating something much deeper than mere images. I was documenting my journey of acceptance, of reconciliation with my body, with who I am. Just me, in my space, in my truth."
