Her project reflects on and echoes the intensity of one’s relation to one’s body in the 21st century, the need to look at it, and to craft an image of one’s own.

It is informed by, but liberated from, centuries of primarily male representations of the naked female body: «I photograph myself, because I cannot objectify myself.»
