“Through modeling I try to express raw sexuality and I also focus on normalizing nudity. My goal is to show the fluidness and versatility of the human form. My body has always been my canvas. I embrace power, boldness and vibrancy. Those are the three elements I hope people grasp from my work.

There is power in vulnerability. I’ve never been ‘a brush it under the rug’ kind of person. I’m loud, I take the things that people are uncomfortable with and shove it in their face. Some days my photos are colorful and out of the box. Some days I feel explosive, other days I’m soft and delicate and maintain simplicity.”

“What I express depends on my mood, but the overall theme still stands. I make my presence known. I really don’t have anything to hide. I’m very open and public about a lot of things, and I think it shows in my art.”
