I am thrilled to share with you all a beautiful sculpture made by my dear friend Rita. The piece is a bust of me, and I'm honored that she chose to celebrate my unique form despite my physical limitations due to Spinal Muscular Atrophy. It reminds me that my beauty and value are not defined by societal norms or physical ability, but by the wonder and complexity of the human form. As a protagonist in the film "Touch Me Not" by Adina Pintilie, I've become passionate about the importance of disability empowerment and inclusion, and this sculpture is a powerful representation of that. Thank you, Rita, for capturing the themes of intimacy and sexuality with such grace and beauty. I hope this work inspires others to embrace and celebrate diversity in all its forms. #sculpture #disabilityempowerment #bodypositivity #diversityandinclusion #cathedralofthebody
