‘SPRING_BLOOM’ by BRIDGET_F
PRIMARY - 25 SEP 2016
"I Shot Myself gave me an opportunity to look at myself in a way that was neither overtly sexual, nor self-conscious. I was able to overcome that self-consciousness and anxiety about my body, but not through a way that demanded or pressured me to be a conventional idea of sexy. I Shot Myself was a middle ground in expressing my femininity and sexuality in my own way - the creativity was my own, and the way I used my body was my own - it encouraged me to feel that the result was beautiful and acceptable. I Shot Myself has not resolved my personal anxieties about my body, or made me feel any different about myself in relation to the depiction of women in the media, but I created a portfolio that is a reflection of me, and the things I am comfortable with about my sexuality and my body. I loved the feeling that I got from it and I enjoyed doing it- being naked, creative, sexual, free. Shoot yourself some time...it's a great feeling."
