ride

Original — Acrylic on canvas with gold leaf

Ride is a celebration of life, and most importantly, of pleasure.

Sometimes the society we live in makes us feel guilty for wanting to experience pleasure. We hide it, we feel embarrassed by it. This piece is a reminder that we should ride fiercely through life.

Whatever gives you pleasure, whatever brings you joy, ride it. Never look down on yourself for wanting it.

This piece aims to challenge the structures of shame that are so deeply ingrained in us, especially as women. It is a celebration of your freedom to take charge of your own life, your body, and what you want.
