To reclaim the bush is to reclaim the body, to let softness and wilderness coexist without shame.
This photographic series tells a story, not just of autonomy, identity, and resistance, but of intimacy, love, and self-discovery. Through a visual journey it explores the evolving relationship between desire, self-perception and acceptance. The bush, in its natural diversity wild, trimmed, or absent, becomes a symbol of choice, a shared language between our bodies, a space where vulnerability and defiance intertwine. Shot in our first home together, the home where we are taking care of each other, through change, pain, and growth.
