‘MAJOR_ARCANA’ by MARY_S
PRIMARY - 11 DEC 2023
"I took these photos in my room. A little music, cocoa, curtains drawn wide open, some coolness from the window to cheer myself up. Before this when I'd taken part in photo shoots there was a lot of post-editing, perfectly smooth photoshopped skin, properly exposed light etc. But here it's just me, the camera, some music in the background and a free flight of fancy, the objects around me, my nudity (and to be honest) a little embarrassment of being seen differently than usual, not hiding my perceived flaws. But when I finished shooting and sent it in - I realized that I had moved to a level where I wasn't afraid of negative evaluation, but seeing my beauty in my age, my wrinkles, my weight...in my body. I immersed myself in it, in the experience, lived it and felt more free than I did before I shot myself."
