Sexual Communication Changes
Going forward with the project i really wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and explore the underlying sexual tones of my work. For the following images i wanted to ephasise the uncorftablity and restictive nature when taking/sending nude images to a sexual partner. As my people are now sending exploitive images/videos due to the current circumstances. It is almost expected and common place for young woman to take these sorts of images as i cant think of one person in my life that hasn’t sent a nude. I have also been reading a-lot about how sex work has changed for young women now making money from these images with sites like Only Fans.
I took a material and object i hated (a plastic pillow that normally sits on my bed) cut it into strips and sewing them together before wrapping them round my body. The uncomfortable nature of the pillow i feel was communicated in the images below as is pulled and rapped restrictively round myself.
Sex Work
I also played round with where and how i wanted to lay/sit and the lighting the images were taken in. The pink light i feel echoed the kind of night time secrecy i feel is associated with sex. I especially like the over exposed pink images as they have this kind of venerability about them as its clear i’m not the one taking these images reflecting that i’m maybe not in control with the situation ; trusting someone to take them and not share them.

Reflecting on this week
I feel like has really pushed me out of comfort zone and feel like iv made good progress in the project so far. moving forward i maybe want to go back into doing 2d work is i feel it my be a brake from the researching and might let my ideas form more naturally through experimentation.
