Am I good enough?
Am I pretty enough?
What if I had bigger eyes, a smaller nose?
What if I weren’t this insecure?
Being bullied and dealing with anxieties in my early teen years have taken a toll on the way I view myself today.
I am always viewing myself through different distorted lenses and I find that it is a constant struggle to accept
myself and be satisfied with who I am.
As I embarked on this photography project, I wanted to capture the raw feeling of how I view myself through my distorted lens, and turn it into an artwork. I hope to be able to look at these photographs and admire myself as a work of art;
to admire my insecurities and call it beautiful. I hope that with these photographs,
I am one step closer to accepting myself, and telling myself that...
“YOUR IMPERFECTIONS ARE BEAUTIFUL”
“It’s the imperfections that make something beautiful,
that’s what makes it different and unique from everything else.”
