Artist statement
My dream photoshoot is inspired by a personal story rooted in the immigrant experience. My mom, who moved to Canada from Trinidad, once advised me not to "use models that look like her" if I wanted to succeed. This broke my heart and revealed the lasting impact of underrepresentation. With this photoshoot, I aim to celebrate diversity—showcasing all races, sizes, and abilities—and shift the narrative toward inclusivity. By uplifting every individual’s unique beauty, this project will not only challenge societal norms but also inspire real change in media representation.
