Imperfection
When the female body becomes synonymous with sex, sex is no longer a part of a womans experience as a human being. It defines her experience as a human being. One day I hope the success of a woman is defined more by what she does in the world, rather then how she appears in it.
The video below was created in conjunction with my book, of the same title. I visually explore my thoughts and emotions around my physical appearance and identity as a woman. It was filmed and edited by both me and Tommy Wu.
My scolisos story
With the increasing pressure from the media, and society, for women to look ‘perfect’ its no wonder that so many of us are dissatisfied with our appearance. We are taught that imperfections are wrong and should be dealt with. This is false information! and a form of social control. The video below was filmed by Tommy Wu, and edited by me.
The images below are a selection of self portraits taken from my book ‘Imperfection.’ To find out more about this project feel free to email me (My details can be found in the contact section).
