The series that I intend to do will not be about beauty.
It will be about trying to accept that we all have a different body.
And, about try to not be ashamed about it.
The reason I started with the self portraits, by the way:
Kill the shame. It stays hard... :-))

Every person has beauty, in a way.
If we try to look at that instead of compare to what we see on publicity, and so on, we could all be happy about that. Instead of spend our precious time in shame.
The imposed theme of our final school works is: Diversity.
So, that suits me perfectly!
I will try to build my works around this. Try.
And these are experiments, to find a nice way to do that.

Als wär's das letzte mal

Drück dich an mich.
So fest wie du kannst
Küss mich, mein liebling
So viel wie du kannst

Drück dich an mich.
Gib mir so viel wie du kannst
Liebe mich, mein liebling
Als wär's das letzte mal

Sei still, schliesse deine augen.
Bitte denk an nichts.
Glaube mir, alles ist gut, alles ist gut

it's far better that the publicity, is a trip to our interior, our fears, our truth.

Nadja said...

Yes, indeed it is exactly that.
It's rough trip sometimes, and that shows.
But at least, I am not trying to sell you anything!
Or, nothing that will cost you money anyway.
:-))
Thank you very much, Moncat!
You are so kind.
Big warm XXX!

Probably one of the most daring images I've seen in a long time. Much respect and yes, I wish that I would have such courage.

Nadja said...

Thank you very much, r.
It sure takes courage.
But, we are all unique, and that in itself has beauty in it!
Even when we don't look very average,
or even when we are far off from average.
It doesn't matter.
There is always beauty to be found.

Echte schoonheid komt van binnenuit.
En straalt naar buiten.
You shine girl!!!
Je bent een voorbeeld voor vele die dit niet durven/kunnen/willen/mogen om welke reden dan ook.
Dikke XXX

Het is ook mijn bedoeling dat ik tegen eventuele modellen kan zeggen van, kijk, zelfs ik durf het.
En zelfs van mij valt een leuke foto te maken.
Geen idee of hier wie dan ook mee kan overtuigen.
:-))
Hartelijk dank, Karina!
