The title says it all. Not everything in life is beautiful. Depression, helplessness, anger, frustration, denial and overwhelm (to name a few) are all the things I was facing during this time. I was in a very fragile state. The thought of a possible heart transplant was, clearly, overwhelming. I decided that I needed to record this and layered the photos just as the layers peeled away during this session. Why nude? Because that is our most vulnerable state.
