A New Point Of View

These images are fragmented pieces of my body.  The subtleties that distract people when they interact with me.  Possibly the parts of my body that will cause judgement and reaction.  A contradiction is being made as I select what parts of me I share with the public yet I have no control over how they will perceive it.  I am giving up control, whatever you will make of me is no concern of mine.  

Taking this new approach is to remove any sense of pain or resentment that seemed so prevalent in my previous work and replace that with simple awareness and acceptance, not resistance.  This work becomes somewhat of a release as I let go of the concern for how I will be viewed.  This is just the beginning and plan I having more images from different areas of my body.

Gone are those who understand how you became yourself.  Gone are the reasons lurking in the past that might excuse your mistakes.
