Hello, it's Allison again. Uh, I like to talk um, because I feel like it's more natural. I am expressing myself. And today I will talk about Juliette's project. So, this project for me was very special actually and special because it was very intimate. I think, and this is what I like about art because it makes you think it makes you reflect about what's, what, what's going on. So, Her project, it was about um, it was a photography project. So, I had to put paint in a part of my body that I don't like it or I don't accept it. And, and yes, so these pictures, they show the parts of my body that my body that I don't like. And, um, Yeah, I put paint on my belly because it's something that I have been always struggling, it's like, it's something that I, every time that I go to the mirror. I cannot accept this. So. Yeah, it's something sensible for me. But thanks to her project, I think, the fact of really accepting that that's, my, I don't know, like my, vulnerability. I think for me that's important because I don't want to just hide this, in, you know, in the deep spaces of my, my mind, I think, is important that I can accept that there is that insecurity on me, and I can liberate, this feeling. And um, it’s something that has given me a lot of anxiety, through the years, since I was a teenager, because it's true, like there are standards in this world. And I think I confirm myself of the time, with the, you know, with the bodies. Because there is something that is socially acceptable, and I don't know, I don’t know how what to think because I actually want to just say, yeah, whoever can be. Whatever, you know, but, I just, sometimes I cannot see myself in this kind of physics because, I had this, um, this problem and like some years ago that, I lost a lot of weight and I was almost going on anaemia, and I had to, to gain weight back and, Yeah, I don't know. I had, I had these problems about looking myself and yeah, I couldn't eat or I, I didn't eat meat or, I don't know, like, something was wrong, you know? And until today, I think I received comments of my body saying that I lost a lot of weight and then that I gained weight and then I lost weight. And I must accept that until today has been a roller coaster of me like losing a lot of weight and also gaining weight. It's just crazy because it's never perfect. You're never perfect. But that's my reality. And I think I will lie myself, If I say that, I have accepted myself because. I cannot say that because I have a fight on my mind and. As I say before, thanks to this project is something that I can actually think about it. And I can react about it, but not, just ignore it as I did it before. And. Yeah, thanks to Juliette. Um, for making me, making me part of it, for making me accept what are my thoughts about my own body? I think that's beautiful and thank you so much for that.
