Ordinary Women

Ordinary Women
This collection is centered on women, honoring the distinctive qualities of both ordinary and marginalized women. It celebrates the curves of pregnant women, the textured tensions of postpartum women, and the inner strength of fuller-bodied women. But Ordinary Women transcends physical attributes to explore the emotional landscape of women—their feelings, struggles, tensions, and moments of peace. My collection encapsulates the evolving, nuanced, complex energy that surrounds women.
