Jen Davis series
Eleven Years she began to explicit study
her insecurities, her body and social perceptions of beauty which, resulted
traces of her self-directed gaze from her early 20’s and 30’s. While her
portraits have a painter quality to them with secluded figures immersed in
natural light and engaging in simple tasks with an occasional splash of color. Her
expressions are often pensive and sincere, even if she is with another person,
she seems distant. Her photos undertones are about body image and the series
bleed into love and intimacy. She starts to unravel her insecurities through
the camera, she shows the viewer her vulnerability which elicits sympathy and
empathy. The series not only speaks to those who also deals with weight issues
but to those who also struggle with fitting in and over all body problems.
Being embarrassed with oneself is a common experience.
