Sitting Pretty

Materials: Plaster, Wire, Wire Mesh, Cloth, Rock, Aluminum Foil, Spray Paint
Reflections:
Comfortable in her own skin and bones, she contentedly pauses… to smile. To savor all it took to get here.
She used to not like herself, the face or body she was given. A deal in which she had no hand… She used to run from mirrors. She used to ignore fashion and celebrity magazines showing what she SHOULD LOOK LIKE in order to be “beautiful.”
Unapologetic and now confident in her own style of unique beauty, she laughs ALOUD. Thrilling to the sound of her belly-laugh (once frowned upon as too loud) and the way it reverberates in her beautiful body and soul.
Acceptance came later in life, but it came - just the same.
Beautiful her! BEAUTIFUL YOU!
Celebrations of soul, spirit, and inner beauty shaped over a lifetime within.
