Making this video was meaningful for me because I have never vocalized my self affirmations. I find it easy to affirm others but it was super hard to do that for myself. After each recording I made of myself speaking one thing I liked about myself, I felt happier! The inspiration behind this project comes from Shaya's incredible ritual she did, which addressed her insecurities about writing. For five days, she wrote on a piece of paper for 20 minutes without stopping, writing about things she didn't want to think about. I tried to stay close to her intentions of her project by addressing my own insecurities and thinking about things that I didn't want to think about--loving and liking myself. In order to capture this, I pieced together a video from my recordings along with drawing and painting flowers. The first magnolia flower is dead, slowly coming to color and life with each affirmation. I hope this encourages you to think about what you like about yourself! It has made me feel more confident in myself in my day to day and more free.
