• Artist Statement

  I made this writing piece to express how confined we are as people when looking at or how we feel about our bodies. By writing this piece, it helped me understand how hard I am on myself and wonder why I care about the number on the scale so much.

• Creative Statement

  My creativity means letting go and feeling free with random thoughts, emotions and things that are hard to explain to others.
