I think I'm nineteen

By Jai Rajwadi

These two pieces explore my relationship to the ‘female’ body as something which is naturally everchanging. My writing piece looks at my own experience growing up with a ‘female’ body, in a society which has many rules for how it should look in order to be deemed acceptable. It looks at how it might feel for your body to go through changes in different situations and time periods throughout growing up.

Jai Rajwadi is a second year Fine Art student from London, studying at Goldsmiths. They enjoy making work which explores their own relationship to the ‘female’ body, gender expression, and femininity as a non binary person. They do this through different mediums which include writing, drawing, and video work.

Jai’s art resonates closely with me, as their work always depicts a unique way of expressing femininity. Many young people experience situations as described in their piece of prose, and it is eye opening and heart warming to have it written so eloquently, in such a relatable way. Paired with the drawings they have created, it depicts a visual representation of the themes discussed in their narrative.
