artists statement-I love to express myself in artistic ways, and I love being nude. After many years of being self-conscious I've found a love for pure expression and allowing myself to explore the freedom that I crave, I think that expressing yourself is so integral to being a happy being and I advocate for expression, experimentation, exploration and freedom as a means to find pride and joy in your own body and your relationships between your body and the people and the world around you. I love going to life drawing classes and would love to model for one someday. I have performed at a couple of Berlin-style fetish raves, a place where this freedom is truly felt and encouraged! I love the intersection of art and sex and intimacy and identity, I think they all cross over so beautifully and exploring nudity in art and photography can be so vulnerable, these 'behind closed doors' scenes that can be captured provide such an insight to someone’s psyche, desires, fears and passions. I enjoy these moments of human-ness and love the exploration of voyeurism and exhibitionism (myself sitting very much on the side of exhibitionism I've found). I've always been deeply fascinated in connection, kink, art, photography, music and film and the exploration of these intimate moments - I think it has something to do with that sense of a deeper connection, it’s so beyond surface level and there is some kind of electricity to that.

artists statement-I find inspiration in the contemplation of human bodies. Movements of arms, shoulders, hips, a state of tension and relaxation. All of these non-verbal cues reveal a person's personality and condition, and sometimes they tell more than words. I really enjoy seeing this. When I was younger, I loved to draw people from nature. My favorite places were the parks and the beach. There people are most emotional and most open in their movements. Now my work involves a lot of online and I can not often walk, draw from life and contemplate people, and even more so to see friends. It would be great if we could put gadgets aside and walk with friends in the moment, showing the beauty of movements and emotions.

artists statement-I haven't always been very comfortable in my skin, but working in the sex industry as an exotic dancer, helped me gain a lot of the confidence I have today, but I must say that doing ISM made me feel so much more empowered than dancing ever did. Being able to sit there in my own back yard, feeling super comfortable and at peace, being able choose how I want to be perceived, rather than how society wants me to be perceived was such a surreal experience that I would never have experienced if not for ISM.

artists statement-The history of my nakedness began with the fact that I did not love my body. I did not accept myself and felt that I was more like a cross between both sexes, or even completely asexual. Four years ago I got into streaming on adult sites and it helped me open up a bit for the woman that I am, but I still hated my body nonetheless. It seemed to me that I looked terrible in the photos and in life. A couple of years ago, my friend from Israel suggested that I collaborate with him on the OnlyFans site and I agreed, and my photographer friend suggested that I do a small photo shoot outside, in the field. I liked it. I had the experience of shooting with my girlfriend and I respect and love nudity, I fell in love with my naked body with all the flaws that it has. I often take pictures of myself naked.

artists statement-For me, erotic photos have their own meaning, it is not pornography, lewdness or seduction, it is a beautiful art and a display of one's personality. I used to be ashamed of my body and my sexuality, and only now I began to understand that each person is unique, each person has their own shortcomings and perfections and because of this, I became more relaxed and open. Participation in this project once again proves that you don't need to be ashamed of yourself, but show yourself as you are. taking photos. I wanted to show my individuality and naturalness.

artists statement-Nudity is something that is commonly concealed. Just as people hide their bad character traits in an effort to be the best version of themselves, they also cover up their bruises, pimples, photoshop cellulite and other natural body "imperfections". Being naked is shameful, you must be censored, considered an "unworthy woman". In many countries, women can be called names, stalked, blackmailed, beaten, and many other horrible things for leaked nudes. I want the world to be a safer place. I want female teachers to not be fired for swimsuit photos. I want women to have the right to work wherever they want and look however they want. I want teenagers to not be embarrassed about the hair that grows on their bodies. I want us to stop wearing ourselves out with grueling inhumane diets. I want the trend of glamour and gloss to become nothing more than a historical anecdote that we smile at. I want to be seen and heard. I want to see you and love you for who you are, with all your imperfections and zest. I want to be me.

artists statement-Participating in I Shot Myself was a challenge unto itself. I have always been a good and obedient person who made my parents proud. I finished school, university, got married and always did what people expected me to do to be a good member of society. But this is not my life! I have a spirit of rebellion, freedom, and energy in me! I want to show myself to others, I want to be not just a "good girl" but different. I can be cute, sassy, funny, clumsy, and silly. I can inspire, and I want to show this world through my prism of beauty. Nature has always drawn me in and stirred my thoughts. The naked body in nature is the truest art. It's our primal part, it's in all of us. Nature is man, and man is nature. I wanted to convey the freedom and daring that I am capable of and that I have in me. Today, being a "good girl" means doing what makes you feel good. Life is only given once, I want to share this part of me.

I've rewatched it 4 times and I'm going to do it again soon. And in general I like light comedies and adventures. I would like to single out Jumanji and Love and Monsters in particular
