These sketches were influenced by my body issues I faced in college. I would often hide my shape in embarrassment behind layers of clothing. Disappointed with how I looked, I had unrealistic body goals that resulted in an eating disorder.

These drawings were therapeutic for me. Using my own body as inspiration, I forced myself to draw my body authentically. Opposite of my college years, I hid my face and put my body on full display as it naturally appears. Flaws, wrinkles, and every spot.
