The Sun In Waves

“The Sun In Waves” is about The Burning Woman.
She is your power, your feminine source. The Goddess. The Great Mystery.
She is the center of the Universe. 
She exists from her own force, like the sun, she lights up and takes space.

This story is very important for me as an Asian artist breaking down barriers against nudity and sexuality within the asian community. Asian women have walked in hidden shame. From an early age, we are taught to be quiet and obedient, and to prioritize others’ needs over our own.
We are fetishized, sexualized, and marginalized. It’s what is expected of us from society.

“Minami is a half-japanese model in this industry breaking down barriers in this industry, A GODDESS! I want this story to represent women reclaiming that innate divine power. I wanted to showcase Minami’s embracing her own body, her confidence, her essence in this story. This is for the wild women, for the Goddess.”
