Change
The moment one sees someone different than themselves nude leaves a lasting impression. The first time I saw a woman nude when I was a child, I was awestruck. It was my first conscious encounter with someone with a different body than myself. It was a non-sexual experience that informed my developing sexual identity. As I grew up the memory stuck with me and I carry it to this day. The event Changed me as I watched her change her clothes. Change is hard to take for some people but I felt compelled to make this video to honor the memory that made me the adult I am today.
