ARTISTS STATEMENT
Having recently lost about 25kgs, I've found it very hard to adjust to the fact that my body looks completely different now. Day to day life doesn't tend to allow a whole lot of time for getting to know your naked self but that has been one of the beautiful things about taking part in this project. Setting aside time to photograph myself in my most natural form has been liberating and enlightening. It's incredible to go from thinking "What on Earth am I doing?" to "Wow, I look pretty great" with a few clicks of the camera. Stumbling across a selfie that you love is like receiving a compliment from yourself and even the photos you hate are good for a laugh.
