The Women
When I started these pieces in 2019, I didn’t know how much or what they would end up meaning to me over time and through my own stages of sexual awakening. I see these women as a celebration and salute to women’s sexuality through a feminist lens — stripping away the guilt, hypocrisy, double-standards, and shame that is taught in our patriarchal culture, and assigning beauty and wholeness to a woman’s nakedness and sexuality.
