Incredible contrast between her clothed, shy, intellectual self and the naked images she creates.

Wow that was great, thanks for posting that!
All the way through I couldn't help but think how brave she is for exposing her naked body to such dangerous places. I hope she doesn't get hurt or sick because what she is doing is really amazing. I love what she said at the end about humanizing the spaces, it's a lovely idea.
