body shame or: how i learned to stop worrying and love my body

My concept is body shame, focusing on my own shame, which comes from illness and suffering. My project has developed through text and design, to open up a discussion about the body. It has been a conscious choice to use my own voice to talk about the body, using myself as an example. Bodies are something very private that I don't feel we discuss openly enough. There is a lot of focus on body ideals today, but I would like to broaden it so that it is about more than just size, as body shaming, in my opinion, is more than a size and the talk about it.
