Artist Recognition
Showed at the The Other Art Fair
Artist featured in a collection
Each morning, I approached my body with timid hesitation, afraid of what it might reveal. Years of society's unattainable beauty standards and personal body shaming had ingrained themselves in me since I was just twelve years old. It all started with a seductive Calvin Klein ad featuring Brooke Shields, her toned and flawless body taunting me from every billboard and magazine page. From that moment on, my days were consumed with harsh weigh-ins, obsessively monitoring food intake, and subjecting myself to starvation days. My secret rituals included weighing each morsel of food before consumption, hiding them from friends and family. For over three decades, my body has been trapped in a never-ending cycle of restriction and punishment, constantly striving for the impossible goal of being "100 pounds," or what I referred to as "invisibility." Because in this world, thinness is equated with success and desirability. But now, as I pour my thoughts onto journal entries filled with digital sketches, complex code, and meaningful symbols, I am actively healing from a lifetime of self-harm and mistreatment towards my own body. This exclusive collection features meticulously printed and pressed pieces on Aluminum, each one completely unique and signed by none other than the artist - myself. And with every purchase, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to either National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) or YWCA USA - two crucial organizations dedicated to empowering individuals to heal and overcome the toxic messages surrounding body image in our society. My intention with this collection is to heal, one step at a time - and hopefully inspire others to do the same through the power of art and open conversation.
