Dear friend, before you is a series of photographs of the acceptance of Self. For centuries, the naked body has been a cause for shame and denial. The disconcerting, uncovered skin finally becomes part of a woman, and the body, which was supposed to be ashamed, becomes an inalienable nature. At last, the photographer's lens captures the peculiarities of a woman's individuality: curves, birthmarks; the joy of the moment; the freedom to be yourself, to accept yourself. Marat Safin's series are not about the vulgar naked female bodies, they are about a subtle, vulnerable soul, sounding in unison with the outer appearance. In the works you can feel every girl, simple and sincere as an art form. Acceptance of Self, that is art.
