About the Project
This project began as part of my graduate studies. I had the idea because of my own struggles with body image and insecurities. For as long as I can remember, I have felt insecure with my own body which led me to wonder, how many other women struggle with this? Why do we all struggle so much?
It started out being about physical insecurities but I quickly learned that physical insecurities are typically tied to something else that happened to the person. It became a story of overcoming obstacles and learning to become comfortable in your own skin. The title refers to the fact that we live in our bodies everyday and they carry us through our lives but for some, their body are the source of their insecurities.
Thank you to all the women who opened up to me and trusted me enough to participate in this project.
