Up close and personal All sizes and shapes are starting to be more and more accepted by society. Yet on an individual level, I find it easier said than done. Which is why I created this self-portrait series. With it I’m scrutinizing each bump, fold, out-of-place hair, … . Meanwhile, I am very aware that I only felt confident enough to do this after losing quite some weight. Nevertheless, I hope it can inspire us all to look closely at our bodies and start liking them.
