It’s really interesting to me when people find my work confronting, or talk about it being challenging, because that’s not my aim in it. That’s not how I think about it, because I’m trying to centre these so-called marginalised experiences, and just in a way that it’s natural to me to do that… my main purpose is when someone says to me, ‘Oh, that really resonated with me, I found that a really empowering image,’ Like that’s my audience. That’s what I’m aiming for. And I think that if someone finds it challenging I feel like, oh, that’s probably because you are used to seeing aspects of your experience as normal, and I’m not intentionally trying to be provocative. I’m actually trying to thrive and survive despite being provoked every day by racism, patriarchy, ableism, etcetera.
