ARTISTS STATEMENT
With this project, I aimed to reveal the very nature of my curvy body - in nature. For me, the body of a woman is as unique and complex as the intricate life forms that shape the forest or wheat fields. This is the first time I used my naked body to express myself, and I aimed to reveal the inner confidence that I always suspected I had in concern for my body image. All my life I've felt that my body was in too many ways imperfect and undesirable. Now I know that it's just as special and fun as the branches of a eucalyptus tree in a vast forest. You can't deny the beauty of the all natural.

I like to taste: Spicy foods, like wasabi, they just go straight to your head
I like to feel: Animal fur; like the bracelet I made for myself of beaver pelt
favourite part of my body: My favorite body part, now (after the shoot), is my big butt! All my life I've been embarrassed to have inherited such a wide bum, but now, I love it!
favourite part of someone else's body: Their chest. It's where I like to hang out on cold, rainy days. Right next to the heart.
Why i shot myself: To have a fun way to express myself and to explore the beauty of my body!
who I'd least like to see shoot themselves: I hope to never ever see Donald Trump shoot himself. Or actually, maybe I do. Then we could all see the fragile, insecure person he really is

my website/fav website: couchsurfing.org because it's my home away from home. I owe much thanks to all those who have let me crash their couch while travelling.
