Tor-mento, an illustration about body perception and body positivity
I have fought with body hair since forever, I cannot remember a single day when I was smooth, even when I was a child I had an enormous amount of hairs, in fact I was 11 years old at the time of my first wax. I always wished I was silky and soft but my hormones and my DNA had different plans for me. It became an obsession, so I started saving money for a permanent treatment that could make me hairless forever; it worked for a while, but then my hormones went crazy again and hairs grew back, so I became depressed.
This illustration represents a difficult time in my life and the journey that took me to accept my image in the mirror. Years went by before I understood that the way I look is perfectly fine and I needed to celebrate depicting my chin in a glorious way.
This illustration is part of a personal project, whose theme is emotional and physical insecurities.
