First thing I said when a guy took my shirt off was always ⎯ “Am I too skinny?”
From 2019 to 2022, my best friends and I made occasional getaways to the beaches in Vietnam. There we swam, sunbathed, read, danced, and radiated under the sun. There I found comfort in my own skin. There I realized the beauty of our shapes. The whole process is a healing journey for me.
This pocket notebook includes all the portraits and self-portraits that I documented during the time. People are welcomed to use it for their own purposes.
“My boyfriend once said that I was so tiny
That he could carry me in his pocket anywhere
So put me in your pocket
Use me as your time goes by
Use my body as your late-night canvas
Write on me
Compose on me
Fast on me
Slow on me
Release on me
Spit on me
Piss on me
Bleed on me”
