Cobalt

Cobalt reflects the lush, vibrant, pigmented abundance that I strive to feel in my body, a body that I constantly scrutinize and critique; a body that doesn’t always feel like home. Moving through time from my childhood to the future, I oscillate between these portraits of self, attempting to succeed in the impossible task of existing at multiple ages, multiple identities, all at one moment.

If I cover myself in blue, perhaps I won’t feel so blue anymore?
