my inner work centers around my journey trying to find peace and comfort within all the things i am, and things i am not. being hyper sexualized from a young age and interpreting that as the only way i would find love, i’ve found myself embodying a shell of who i thought i was for years.

i still find her, my shell, mysterious, alluring, and at times, safe.  

so many of my personal and artistic explorations have been centered around digital space… my daily life has been consumed by digital space since i was 13. 

the problem is, in digital space, there’s a constant desire i’m fighting. 

to be seen, to be comforted, to be rewarded, to be affirmed.

i feel like i’ve grown up in the eyes of others. and through all this effort and attention i’ve put towards impressing others, i’ve lost myself.

so here i am, trying to find myself again. 

i’m really curious about what it looks like and feels like to inhabit digital space, but faceless. bodiless.

i’m curious about being present in the process of unlearning my habits, but accepting the version of myself i don’t like with open arms.

forgiving  .

i invite you to come along with me, and to try to show up for yourself.

you deserve it.

nobody has it all figured out, but together, i think we can make something work.

to being open to evolving, and to growing into the unknown, with hope.

together.

all my love,

lara.

vulnerability + love = connection

                                                                                                                         connection = empathy

                                                                                                                                empathy = peace

                                                                                                                                                    <3
