Movement

With this photograph, I am showing self-love and the subsequent freedom that comes from that. I used myself as a model since my objective was to show self-love, and I thought there would be no better time to show myself some love than in front of my camera. I decided to use a longer exposure time to capture movement and motion blur, which resulted in distorted and strange images of myself. Originally, I wanted pretty photos. However, as I took more and more "ugly" photos of myself, I realized it was actually a perfect representation of loving oneself. There are parts I like and parts I don't like about myself, but I should still accept and show appreciation for every part because I only have one body.

Creativity is the translation of the conversation between me and my subject into a visual piece, whether that subject is someone else, an inanimate object, or myself.
