In an intimate exploration of self-acceptance and liberation, a model reflects on her experience in a nude photoshoot by Jason Lee. She eloquently shares her journey of reconnecting with her natural form, emphasizing the purity of the soul and the beauty of the human body. Defying societal norms, she embraces freedom and advocates for the celebration of our innate physicality. Through vulnerability, she finds empowerment and urges others to embrace their bodies without shame.
Here’s what the model wrote about our shoot:
My soul lies right between the earth and my body. Or maybe it is a mixture of the two. I was always intrigued by the human body, and was always interested in the strange argument behind why humans shame other humans for letting our bodies be free.  I’ve always believed that our most natural form is the most important form for us to embrace.  To completely love ourselves, we have to start from the purity of the soul, and pay close attention to the shell that it lives in, which is our bodies.  When I was given the opportunity to do a nude photoshoot, I wouldn’t say it’s something that had crossed my mind before. But I also saw it as an opportunity for me as a human to practice the way of life we were originally created in, as humans.  It will always be nerve wrecking, to do the things that society now shames us for… to do the things the world makes us think is wrong.  But never in my life, did I ever feel so alive, so raw, so natural.  Standing there, in my pure, natural form, I found my body & soul connecting more and more to the earth around me.  Slowly, I felt it all become ONE. I found myself sinking into the earth, as if it’s all my body had ever known. I was stripped of all the restrictions that society had me drowning in.  I felt free, and that’s what it’s about. It’s about finding freedom — showing  the world that our bodies are the most unharmful things. Though our minds can be corrupted, but our bodies are merely just a build up of bones, skin, fat. They are natural, they are real, & instead of being shamed and sexualized, they should be glorified for the beauty they are, and the beauty of being human.  We humans need to take back the one thing we have to take pride in, and it’s what we were born with, and given as a gift. These shells our souls walk in, are not to be shamed, we need to accept them with open, bare arms. We need to accept them, love them, and set them free.  It is a different view than what the world is used to today, but it’s the most beautiful view, from the inside and out.Â
