I DON'T WANNA FIT IN

I DON'T WANNA FIT IN - Visual Manifesto

Punished by society for not fitting in. For wearing bones. Being wild. Twenty-five years later: still not fitting in, still wearing bones, still wild, got bigger. - Shocking, I know!

25 years of refusing to fit in, captured in images.

I bury animals on roadsides with ceremony. I train my body without apology. I love dogs and pole dancing on street lamps. You wanted me to pick one version of myself, but I'm all of them. Deal with it.

I honor death with bones on my body. I piss on your status symbols. I give statues what they can't return. You say it’s shocking, but I see it as refusing to act for your comfort.

My body carries the mark of death. My body makes art. My body decides who can touch it. You wanted me to be modest, quiet, and acceptable, but I chose to be powerful instead.

I dance in city streets and hold on to lampposts. I hold bones of the dead and spread my legs without permission. This is what freedom looks like when you stop asking for approval.
