Pick My Flower 2018
Pick My Flower is about the sexual curiosity that floods your body in the early stages of puberty. A topic rarely talked about by those who actually experienced them. Although, the perception has shifted over the last years, I still think a lot of younger girls are ashamed of masturbating while I find it to be the most empowering and natural behaviour when you feel like your body calls for it. The series is for everyone who also went through a hormone-driven puberty like I did.The series is inspired by the works of French director and writer Catherine Breillat whose unapologetic work about teenage sexuality strikes me on every level. After watching her films Une Vraie Jeune Fille and À ma sœr!, I was driven to visualise my own sexual experiences I have made when I was a teen. On that note, the series is very personal and shows my own experience only. It aims to emphasise that female sexuality is strong, natural and very much existent without a second person involved.
On that note a big thank you to my friend and muse Bella, who jumped into the fantasy with me.
