I fear I will be ripped open and found unsightly.
Orgasm, secret garden.
Self-portrait.
I usually don’t share my drawings but … there you go I guess.
I’m lost. And it’s my own fault. It’s about time I figured out that I can’t ask people to keep me found.
Wait what
The houses were built on a slanted hill…but whoever took this picture aligned the street with the bottom of the portrait so they were parallel so shit look’s wavy.
duh lol. looks like San Fran.
Almost positive it’s San Fran ❤️
Do you remember the way the girls
would call out “love you!”
conveniently leaving out the “I”
as if they didn’t want to commit
to their own declarations.
I agree that the “I” is a pretty heavy concept.

The series is an exploration of contemporary religious-less self-baptism. Some photographed indoors and some photographed in nature, these photographs present the ritualistic and intrinsic quest for self-baptism in the contemporary age. The series can be seen as a portrait of the human condition, our primal search for meaning and self-discovery. Although these women do not identify with a religion, they feel a sense of renewal and reconciliation in certain places. I have photographed them carrying out their religious-less self-baptism with their eyes closed, in their private moment. Contrary to popular and historic representation of women in art, they have voices – a quote alongside their image concretes their intelligence and sense of spirituality and the honesty of the image. Also, they are named; they are real women with real thoughts on the world and their minds. They are not represented as fragile and small in their surroundings; rather, they appear empowered and in the process of renewal. Each photograph shows immersion, and through immersion these women find power and purpose.
