Body Positivity Community Project (2020)
I created pins and magnets with images that reflect body positivity for men and women. I placed a set of magnets and pins into three baskets that I placed in my community; the library, a mail room, and a park. My goal was to spread the image of self love and body positivity in a time when social media spreads the images of impossible body goals and quarantine had restricted our ability to exercise.
