Stillness. Rawness. Vulnerability. Closeness. Beauty. Simplicity. Depth. Intricacy.

 

Beginning this project, I struggled to narrow down an area in feminism to focus my attention. There is a part of me that is continually perplexed that my gender impacts everything I do, often negatively. When I think about it, a whole-body fury ignites in me and I am stopped in my tracks. Who runs the world?

 

I identify as female and have done all my life. My distrust towards men has grown as I have. Through personal experiences, my friends experiences and the news, my perception of men has felt quite bleak. This isn’t how I want to live my life. These photos represent my openness to vulnerability and what I value in relationships.
