Raw, 2017
Celebrating the beauty, tenacity, and tireless strength of the female body. For a woman, her body is made to remain resilient while undergoing life's constant manipulation of natural growth, age, and the ability to form new life. As females we tend to shy away from the scars that uniquely shape who we are and what our bodies have been through. Raw is a visual narrative focusing on the little things, the growing pains and the the battle scars.
Raw is an artistic collaboration with Nohémie Mawaka of StatsCongo. StatsCongo is the first Congolese centralized database that seeks to capture maternal and newborns health outcomes and trends into one digital platform.
““We wanted a visual representation of these women who we intend to serve and advocate for through our work.””
Artistic Direction - Nohémie Mawaka & Aleia Robinson | Model - Rene Harding @renejaidi
