Text:
includes positive and negative words about body image.
This piece speaks deeply
to women's struggle to accept and honor the gift of our bodies.
The typewritten words reflect negative language used by our culture
about women, and the collage uses magazine photographs. This false
image is torn away to reveal a truer self portrait of human, female
beauty made in the image of God, as echoed in God's nurturing,
handwritten words.
