THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER

Self-portrait

c.2022, London

Photographer ANSKR by Anna Skorcikova

Anna's work explores her relationship with her body through the metaphor of an oyster challenging herself to unveil her past deep wounds and finding appreciation in owning her body.

Opening an oyster is a journey. It has so many layers that need to be uncovered to finally break the ligament and see the variety of colours. When you open an oyster it is so fluid and fresh communicating Anna's recently unearthed feelings. "I am on the journey of an oyster. I am an oyster. I am."
