Every day, I would check in with my body, greeting it with a hesitant "hello," as if it was a stranger I didn't quite trust. Body shaming had been ingrained in me since I was just 12 years old, when an alluring Calvin Klein ad featuring Brooke Shields urged me to battle my body for social acceptance. From then on, my daily routine consisted of weigh-ins, monitoring food intake and restricting myself to starvation days. I even went as far as weighing my food before consumption, hiding my secretive rituals from friends and family. For over 30 years, my body has been on a never-ending diet, constantly trying to achieve the impossible standard of being "100 pounds," or what I referred to on better days as "invisibility" - because in this world, skinny is seen as synonymous with success and desirability. But now, as I put pen to paper and pour my thoughts into digital sketches, code, and glyphs while journaling, I am actively healing from a lifetime of self-harm and wrongful doing towards my own body. This collection of special edition pieces are meticulously printed and pressed onto Aluminum, making each one truly one-of-a-kind and signed by the artist. With every purchase, a much-needed donation will contribute in supporting one of two important nonprofit organizations: National Eating Disorder Association (NEDA) and YWCA USA. My intention is to heal, one step at a time - and in turn, empower others to do the same through art and open conversation.
