I like my body. 

It’s taken many years to say that, for a long long time I did not like my own body and felt very insecure about myself. 

And I know that I am not alone in that. 

How did we end up in a society where we are sold (literally) an artificial idea of how we should look, and then shamed if we don’t conform?

But enough of that, rebel and enjoy your bodily autonomy!

I am happy with the way I am, with the confidence to feel comfortable in my own skin.

My body has seen me through injuries and accidents, there are scars and knots inside and out. 

My body has also taken me to the tops of mountains, and brought me out of pits of despair. 

I always felt more confident in my knowledge than my appearance. One of my pictures shows an engineering equation that has served me well over the years. 

It relates the forces of a uniformly distributed pressure on a structure. 

I would like to offer this to the project as a bridge between the outer and the inner, the physical and the cerebral.

We are all formed of body and mind, and now I am starting to feel the same confidence in my body that I felt in my mind.

I owe my body a lot, and I am happy being at peace with myself.

With thanks to Jan for the photo of the equation on Iain’s arm + and Elvis.
