‘REDISCOVERING’ by CARMEN_ROSE
PRIMARY - 22 APR 2018
"My shoot was a beautiful and chaotic experience of rediscovering my body and space after gaining weight and moving house. The entire shoot was done in my bedroom - in December I moved into a five bedroom house with 11 other young people from the UK, Sweden, France, Germany, and Italy. The wildness of the house and the newness of the room to me made me skeptical of how well I could shoot myself there. As I progressed through creating images, I found the light, the corners, the reflections, and the softness in my room. I examined the objects that I had brought with me to my new life here, and their relationship with my body. More importantly I embraced my curves like I never have. I found the beauty in my belly and stretch marks, and tapped into my sexuality in a way I haven't since I gained weight. It was truly a beautiful experience of self-love and self-expression."
