Wild woman

  • Madeline Street

Wild woman is an embodiment of me and every single one of my messy and manic moments. I originally started the project as part of my FMP studying FIMS at UOS, but it became so much more, and each photo was a tiny little piece of my heart all stringing together to fill the void that had been there for so long. Wild woman is about taking back every single thing that's ever been said to me to make me feel crazy, like there's something up with me. I"m too much, too sexual, too nice, too mean, I need to "lower my standards", too obsessive, not enough. There are so many negative connotations to everyrhing a woman does, I"m dirty and obsess and I have meltdowns every 2-3 working days, but that makes me, me. I am a wild woman. I am fearless and confident and I don't want anyone to put me down for being me again, and I want that message to spread across to all women. Be feral and wild and flash your knickers and cry your heart out over another failed hinge date, you are beautiful and you don't need to be put together all the time. The journey healed me in ways I could never imagine, it wasn't just a university project it was what I wanted to say to the world.
