This project primarily focuses on my observation and acceptance of my body. Taking the canvas as the primary form of expression, I use different comprehensive materials to express my identification with other parts of me. They are imperfect, and I used to struggle with them, but now I accept all the unperfected parts of me during the painting process, the legs, the birthmarks, the skin, etc. They all represent my experiences and constitute me in different ways and shapes.

     

    Hi, this is Gigi. I’ve been trying to use different illustrative media to tell the story that happened to me and other girls. I am them, and they are me.
