I am not your meat

Artist Blog by Julia Kafizova

I am not your meat, I am my own, I'm not an object for you to use, But a person with dreams and views. I am more than flesh and bone, Not just a face you can condone. My value is not defined by your gaze, But by the way I choose to blaze. So, hear me now, and hear me clear, I won't be labeled or held in fear. I am not your meet, I am my own, A force to be reckoned with, fully grown. Poem made by ChatGPT and rewritten by me In collaboration with Clara Hoehre (@660cl)

I am a visual artist born in 1986 in Horishni Plavni, Ukraine. In search of myself and my place, I lived in Poland for several years and studied at the Academy of Photography in Warsaw. I have participated in group projects and exhibitions in Ukraine, Poland, Portugal, Germany, Austria, and Italy. Over the past six years, I have been working with self-portraits, exploring the issues of the body and self-identity. In my works, I use the body as a language to tell the world who we are here and now.
