Contour celebrates the female form by bringing new photographic strategies to the classical black-and-white nude. The project is in part a reaction to the debasing of the female figure and the way it has desensitized our culture to the nude’s natural beauty. As the photographer, the artist found the process of creating the project to be personally transformative, disassociating nudity from vulnerability and associating it with empowerment instead.
