Head and the heart

**SHAME  
LESS**

There is a space. Beyond shame.

It’s exciting and intriguing and liberating and so much fun.  
I go there from time to time.  
But I can never stay there too long. 

This is a series of paintings documenting my journey with unlearning the shame I’ve been taught to feel: about love, about pleasure, about my body, about beauty, about the “right” way to be and to live. I want to feel free in everything I do, but the guilt runs deep. It’s been embedded in me for as long as I can remember. 

In those scattered periods when I get to go to _that space_, the space free of shame, it feels oh so good. I hope one day, it can be more than short visits.
