I've had a nasty inner monologue since I was 15. I've had a difficult relationship with my body ever since. I hated it. As a consequence, I lost touch with my sensuality and became numb and detached.

I started hating my body gradually - through painful interactions with random people in my teen years. Through nicknames family members had for me. Because guys didn't find me attractive and just weren't interested in me.

I spent my 20s in deep insecurity and self-abuse - through draconian diets, brutal limitations, and extremely high standards for how I look.

In the first half of 2022 I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder type 2 and my boyfriend of 9 years broke up with me. I decided that it's time to heal my relationship with my body and reclaim my sensuality.

This collection is a collaboration with the amazing Stefan Vasilev from definedecadent.com, who captured the process of me becoming my own canvas and taking back control over my femininity.
