KSENIA 

ARTISTS STATEMENT
As I was growing up I had this extreme hatred of every part of my body. I was extremely shy and terrified of my sexuality because I believed that no one would ever be able to stand the way I looked for long enough to explore me. Then I discovered feminism and empowerment and though it has been a long journey I no longer loathe my body, but respect it because it is unique, it is beautiful and it is strong. I photograph myself because of those reasons. I want to capture myself at every angle because I am art, I am nature and I deserve to be memorialized in pixels. My body is for me. My art is for me. This is for me.
