Artist Statement
With these pictures I want to show that everyone has insecurities. I used items that cover the body to demonstrate the connection between how people want to paint a picture of their ideal lives and how people hide behind that perfect picture. With each of the items I used, I have created that barrier on people’s bodies to show how people cover up their insecurities with a more ideal version of themselves. When taking these photographs I wanted to look beyond the barrier of people’s lives and be able to show that people do experience difficult times in life but they should be part of one’s life story and should be a part of their full picture.
