'Til Death Do Us Part

My most current photo series in the Womynhouse exhibit.


A vow of marriage to one's body is from the moment of birth ‘til death do us part. The dissatisfaction she had towards her own body became the determinant for a divorce, and through plastic surgery, the desire for a re-marriage to a new body was wed. The meticulous needle did the weaving onto her body to make it more appealing, but an alteration done wrong by the doctor’s failed knife caused her self-esteem to dwindle.

The new vows to her new body were unnecessary, for she was a kindhearted, beautiful and endearing woman who failed to find what she thought was “beautiful.” The beauty she possessed actually lied within - far too deep and rooted to be tainted by the surgeon's blade. But the scars will forever remind her of the decision she made to divorce herself from her body, for she now lives with her new body ‘til death do her part.
