Description

This Piece aims to reinvent the definition of purity and to define the act of simply moving through everyday life as being pure. To say that being alive, and being myself – whoever she is, is pure. To reject the idea that someone is defined as being pure for reasons linked to their virginity or sexuality. This piece follows a journey of finding my own sense of purity within myself, that belongs solely to me and extends outwards into the surrounding. This is a celebration! A moment to appreciate air, being alive and figuring that out in whichever way a person does, and that process in whatever form as
something pure. However, I never wanted to ignore the fact that finding that sense of purity is difficult and it’s a process, and sometimes it’s hard, and that’s okay because even when being yourself sucks it’s still purely you and that’s all you need to be. I also wanted to account for our interaction with other people, and how that is a part of everyday life and your own sense of purity – however you are still in control. I’m sorry that this all got very pretentious, or a bit dramatic it’s just what I felt going through this process and I’m going to leave you with a quote from a mediocre poem I wrote, “Fuck you guys, I’m cool and if all else fails I can depend on my mother's love.”
