ARTISTS STATEMENT
Once the concept of this project was initially described to me, I felt so excited to take part in it due to its accepting and personalised nature. The fact that the whole idea is to take the photos yourself in an environment that you feel comfortable in was really lovely to me. I felt like art while I was taking the photos, and that feeling is wonderful. Being completely nude was so liberating, there was no mould to fit into and that allowed me to fully express myself. I thoroughly enjoyed this shoot and how it makes me feel so free and joyful in my body.
