For me or for you36” x 36”. oil. color.First in a series on women’s relationship to consent, self-sexualization, commodification, and the gaze. In an age where nudes have not only become a currency of intimacy, but also an empowering act of self-love, the threat of gendered cybercrimes like “revenge pornography” threaten agency, dignity, and bodily integrity. I challenge the regimes that seek to regulate and shame our bodies through image as violence.

8. 40” x 50”. Oil.A glowing red countdown to my twenty second birthday is projected onto my face. Hovering over the edge of falling past what is societally constituted as the peak of ‘eternal’ youth, I reflect on memory, identity, trepidation and mortality.
