267 Mother Earth (Kayla Beck Nuss)
"I have been struggling with body image issues. I turned to Heavenly Mother’s body for comfort and while creating this painting, I thought, what if Heavenly Mother is ACTUALLY Mother Earth? I decided to roll with this idea and thought, if her body truly is the world, it is powerful, sacred, and MAGNIFICENT! So how can I look at myself in the same way? Well, I am created in her image. I create and provide for my body just as she does for this world. Maybe the way to connect with my body and find its power is by looking at hers, by looking at the beauty in her nature, in the trees, in the flowers, in the sky, in the earth and the life that it gives and breathes. I now try to think of the power and life that is in her body and know that that same power and life is in me.
