Art Description (What inspired you to create the artwork?) | Lately, I have been trying to accept myself for who I am, photography being a great form of exposure therapy. I have never really cared about portrait photography or self-portraits but being a model for others in their photography I realized they managed to capture parts of me I never saw in myself. There will always be a constant struggle with appearance, wanting to be skinner, prettier, have clearer skin, need this, and need that. It is easy to fall into this rabbit hole of needing to change things to become this higher version of self. With "The Bathroom" I wanted to draw back to the importance of self-vulnerability. Being ok in your skin takes time and progress is not linear. |
