The Mirror
The Mirror
The Mirror represents the dysphoria and discontent I feel in my body. I want to show the parts of my body that are not usually seen and have been a source of pain and discomfort for many years. As a queer person, some parts of my body are not as they should be in my mind, and living everyday in the wrong body is debilitating sometimes. Waking up and looking in the mirror and seeing a completely different person is extremely distressing, and sometimes it can make my day much worse. Honing in on the aspects that make me uncomfortable have helped me realize what I can do to improve and see the beauty in my body even though it isn\'t where I want it to be.
