I felt the need out of frustration as a woman to combat this obsession that our society has with censoring and objectifying breasts. These paintings encompass the feeling of wanting to be proud of one’s body but not proud of how society perceives it. Through this work, I connect the feminine figure to the natural world and the desire to live freely. I yearn to live in a world where breasts exist as an element of nature. To celebrate breasts as more than just objects for pleasure but as a form of life itself. Ultimately, this series honors the struggle of feeling uncomfortable in one's skin primarily due to the perceptions of others. I redefine how breasts are viewed through these paintings, encouraging viewers to see beyond societal standards, embracing a more authentic and empowering perspective.
