I am in the midst of pain as I have discovered a depth of emotion surrounding this.

The readings and research I have done thus far have brought me to the logical understanding of the monarchy amongst us. I realized that there was an exerted sense of control within our society, and that it is something we often tend to conform to.

I know I am influenced by this system, as we all are, but something has changed, and outside of my plan, this project became personal. I was previously affected on an emotional level by these realizations of our societal perception and definition of beauty, but it has passed that point.

I am beginning my missions today. I invite you to join. I will be photographing myself as I go through them, so whether or not you take part in these or live vicariously through mine, you are welcome to join me on this venture.
