Bloodroot- Body as Home

Rachel Liu-Ballard

Artist Statement:

What does it mean to reclaim our bodies as our own- to reach down, so deep, to what was there before empires of separation told us who and what we could be. What does it mean to be witnessed and truly seen? To behold and allow ourselves to be all that we are as we release the shame of conditioning and step into the truth of these good and holy bodies?

Our bodies are the site of liberation, the place where our souls reside and where powers have sought to separate and deny us our humanity. Through shaking fear and uncomfortable emergence we silence the cultural voices to reclaim our own voice, our own heart and our own body until one day we find ourselves as we've always been...seen and unashamed, divinely whole and already free.
