My idea for this project came suddenly; it was not a planned out process and it wasn’t something I had thought of doing before. The first few images I took were liberating, but the photographs also show how I am not allowing my self to be entirely exposed. The use of fabric in the images serve as a reminder that I am still not ready to let my body confront the world. The photos include some color; peach, pink, and red were chosen because they bring vibrancy to the images, contrasting with the soft light and pale skin tones. Photographing with long exposure serves to distort my body into a less recognizable form, and it plays on the idea that my mind, body, and soul are not still entities; that my being is constantly moving and thinking, even in a still image. These photographs have a purpose, they are meant to be revealing, while showing some level of reserve at the same time. I feel free in the images, in the spotlight, but I am also confined in body, space, and mind.
