description
The SHE RAW project, photographed by Lilli Waters, began in 2010 and aims to document 41 everyday women within a state of fantasy whilst drawing directly from their real-life experience and context. This series of photographic portraits uncovers fascinations of the many engaging mysteries and hidden truths which lie, often undiscovered, beneath a woman’s skin. By drawing intimacies and challenges, self-reflection propels us into the untold relationships we have with ourselves and the women around us, giving us further insight into the contrasts of external beauty and internal sanctums. As with “women who run with wolves” these women roar. 50% of profits from this book featuring the collection are going to the White Ribbon Foundation, an organisation that works towards the prevention of violence against women in Australia.
