Weight Video 2:29 (loop) 2015 Like many things my mother has instilled in me, she passed down her negative body image and desire to find comfort in unhealthy foods. Because of this, my work focuses on my body and how food affects me both positively and negatively. Although I have lost seventy pounds, the emotional weight remains and is subconsciously carried with me. As a young woman, I should not be ashamed of my body; I should be proud of its capability to grow and heal itself. I am not hiding in false comfort anymore and am trying to let go.
