French-American photographer, Erica Simone has posed naked all over New York to create a book called Nue York: Self-Portraits of a Bare Urban Citizen. Simone is currently crowd-funding to raise $10,000 to publish the book. She explains why she’s doing the shoot;
“The point is not to be nude for shock value. I am simply an artist looking to humorously poke at some interesting thoughts about society and question who we are and embody as human beings inhabiting this home we call Earth. It’s now up to you to answer or raise these questions, as you like.”
On her crowdfunding page she writes:
“Naked is who we are and who we come into the world as. ‘Nothing Fits Like You’ is a campaign about being comfortable with who you are as a person, with your body, your mind and your role in society. It’s about being free from the confinements of societal expectations and the media’s projections.”
