Artist's Comments

This piece was part of a huge series I did for my foundation course. It was done at a time when I was angry at my body, I was anaemic and was going through testing for PCOS. It was literally just saying that my body didnt work and wasnt good enough.

I found the photo the other day and altered it a bit with photoshop, to sort of update it, make it more relevent to me now. Mainly because sometimes I still feel not quite good enough, especially with being told Im dyslexic.

I just wanted to let you know that you shouldn't hate your body:). I think that you're quite beautiful actually, and dyslexia just means you see the world in a way that some of us aren't as priveldged to. Oh yes, something else I was gonna say is anaemia is when your body is burning up iron too fast, so your body becomes deficient, so technically your body works way too good;). Great photo and messege, but I'm just saying, I think you're pretty;)

the reason I was anaemic was because I lost quite a lot of blood! :P

But thank you:)

Ok so you had lost alot of blood, see that's just a minor detail, lol;). Your body was working perfectly then. Glad to hear you're doing well now:D.

I use to tell myself those things:

- I am worthless
- I am not good enough
- I am a failure
- I am a shitty son
- I am an embarrassment to my family
- I am a liar
- I am a monster
- My sister will never forgive me
- My dad prefers work over me
- I am not good enough for my father
- I failed my father
- My father doesn’t like me
- Nobody likes me
- Nobody cares
- I’m a fuck-up
- I’m a fat ass
- I’m stupid
- I’m an idiot
- I deserve to be alone for the rest of my life
- I’m a loser
- Girls will never like me
- I will always treat women poorly
- I will never have friends
- Nobody will come to my funeral
- My parents should have gotten an abortion
- I should have committed suicide by now
- I should do the world a favor and jump off a roof.

But now, I believe in myself more. I like myself. I know I am a good person. I think people need to hear that more often. You're a good person. You are good enough.
