'The heaviness or lightness of one thing, compared to another'

The weight of my body can often feel heavier by the opinions of others. Views which are influenced by a constant stream of unrealistic representations of the female form. In today’s society, these unachievable representations of women are unavoidable and constantly reinforced through social media. I look in a mirror and dislike what I see, but can look at women with a similar body as my own and see the beauty I cannot see in myself. The heaviness of this thought causes a constant want to change, instead of accepting myself for who I am. I aim to be honest about these realities but also display a glint of acceptance through the journey of photographing my muse.
