Your Feelings Are Valid
Your Feelings Are Valid is a series about my relationship with food and my weight. This series is not about how I can fix the problem but to show what I feel. The hand stitched words on each image are words that I have written in my journals for the past years. They are words that I find difficult to admit or say aloud. I used Lumen to slightly highlight the food to show what is constantly in my mind. Whether it is to eat or not to eat even if I am not hungry. The images are things that I would consider imperfect within myself but not on others. When looking at these pieces I wanted to convey a sense of peacefulness until each sentence is read.
