You Are Here is the continuation of my series of photographs “You Are There, Are You There? There You Are”. These photographs represent the polarities between the irrational/rational, the exterior/interior, and the motivated/resigned self. Through compositing multiple images of myself I expose the inner battle between my two selves in regards to my insecurities and body issues. It is a work in which I focus on challenging my comfort, self-confidence, and inner strength. It started as an exploration of my own insecurities, my identity, and self-love, and it has later become an homage to every womxn. Every womxn who no matter what they’re going through plays the sister, the daughter, the mother, the fairy, the role model, the angel in their own lives.
