Si solo existiera yo
if it was just me

This piece came to life at home, amid the COVID-19 lockdown, as I pondered my own body and perspective:
What if the yardstick for judging my body didn't involve comparing it to others or idealized standards? What if it was just me?
The text, drawings, and photos come together as an act of self-care, a reminder to myself (and anyone who needs it) that without other bodies to measure against, mine would be perfect. Simultaneously, it dawns on me that the body I live in is, in a way, the only one that truly exists."
