RELOAD - 30 JUL 2017
"While doing this folio I was struggling quite a lot with myself, mostly with my face. Returning to the city after being away for more then half a year - being covered in dirt mostly whilst harvesting potatoes, planting salads or picking cherries - I felt confronted with the perfectionism in the city: flawless outfits, long lashes, shiny hair, glowing skin. I'm not perfect, I'm getting spots after two glasses of wine, refuse to shave and can't control my face that well when it comes to taking pictures of myself. I'm usually not the selfie kind of type. All this made me really conscious about how I see myself, how I'd like to be seen. But while doing this shoot I realized that this is not who I am, I'm usually not uncomfortable naked or dislike my face when you can still see the shadows of the weekend on it. So I got back step by step to my old self. I don't care if others think I'm pretty, I'm not existing to please anyone and I do not accept being part of a competition none of us women agreed to be part of in the first place. I am beautiful, you are beautiful and I love us for who we are!"
