I’ve been sitting on these photos for two years, thinking I need to complete this series. In recent days it seems like that thought is preventing me from creating anything new. It’s become a weird excuse.

Out of (Female) Body, Vol. 1 is still my favorite photo series I’ve created, and I adore the photos in this extension of the project; in many ways I feel the same as I did when I shot them. The life events are persistent. But in many ways I’m really feeling the need to move forward.

A while ago I read someone’s opinion that it’s important not to hold onto art for too long. I’m becoming more critical of the work the longer I’m the only one who sees it. Right now, I’m feeling a little less pressure to make things so quickly and I wonder if that has something to do with my lack of desire to finish this series. I think sharing these now answers a lot of my questions, maybe what I’ve been trying to articulate is to just create and share, create and share.

Like Vol. 1, each photo is paired with a song, but this time with a lyric too.
