about

I grew up in a small town with a family and community that didn't know how to express love for themselves or each other. At a young age, I latched onto religion as a way to feel purpose, something bigger than the world I was living in. Through this lens, my sexuality and nudity became warped, shameful, and taboo. What followed was years of sexual trauma and positions where I was meant to be kept small. At the very core of the vōx project is expression, freedom to love who I love, and divine power in my naked form. I’m not naked for anyone but myself. This Body is an exploration of this reclamation, a deep dive into why I’ve kept myself small, the consequences of my lineage, and how I can be worthy of the love I know I deserve.
