The Body I Carry explores identity, self-perception, and vulnerability through two contrasting figures—one representing my experience of being judged for my dark skin tone, and the other reflecting my thin physique. Together, they express the emotional weight of living with aspects of the body that shape how we see ourselves and how others see us.
