zelfzachtig
In Zelfzachtig, I explore the complex journey of growing up as a queer woman, focusing on both the pain and beauty of it. This photo series is an attempt to romanticize the body, embracing parts of myself that can be hard to love. It’s about finding strength in vulnerability—staring at your ‘flaws’ until something beautiful grows from them.
The works were part of my graduation project, enlarged and exhibited in a lesbian bar in Amsterdam. The space offers a sense of safety as a queer space, but also took some vulnerability and anxiety from putting my body on public display. These contrasting feelings—strength and insecurity—are reflected in the work itself. Zelfzachtig was on view at Bar Buka, Amsterdam.
