My head is full of concerns, worries, hopes, fears and ambitions. I have included [images] that my life will consist of in making a difference, even if it is only to a small child. Now the images in my abdominal region focus on issues that more or less make me sick to my stomach. There is [an ad made by Nike] of a young girl, maybe eight or nine, looking very solemn. Will she learn to love herself even though she isn't model perfect? Will she be able to look up to any women who do not represent society's [physical] ideal? Will she think that looks are more
desirable than intelligence? These are some of my worries that I hope I can overcome and help young girls and women to overcome as well.

My heart is filled with my love for animals, my family, friends and music. I made my scar using green puffy paint, because it is my favorite color. On my arms are pictures of primates, mainly great apes and of beautiful landscapes. I put these on my arms because, besides my legs, my arms are my source of becoming actively involved. I have this passion to help primates that are being savagely killed. All the glitter and sparkles reflect how I feel about life and how I value it.
