BODIES OF WATER
In her debut self-published book, Macy Kerrigan delves into the profound connection between women and water, exploring themes of strength, resilience, and empowerment. Historically revered and feared, water embodies a spectrum of emotions and experiences, mirroring the diverse and dynamic nature of femininity.
both artist and athlete, Kerrigan, draws from personal experiences and a passion for water sports to challenge traditional notions of femininity. By redefining swimwear and sports imagery, this book confronts the pervasive sexualization and objectification of women in water-related contexts. Instead, it celebrates their genuine beauty and strength through an emotive and unapologetically raw lens.
"Bodies of Water" transcends societal norms and reclaims spaces historically dominated by male perspectives, portraying women as dynamic challengers and conquerors. This book is not just a visual exploration; it's a narrative of empowerment, inspiring a shift in how we view and appreciate the beauty and strength of women in all environments.
