Inspired by the old myth of the nymph Loreley, who is sometimes seen sitting on a rocky promontory still bearing her name at a sharp bend of the river Rhine. Some say she is singing, others say she is brushing her golden hair, and luring unwary river boatsmen to crash on the rocks and drown.
(That narrow bend in the river is still the most dangerous part of the Rhine today because of its unpredictable currents, shifting sandbanks, and hidden rocks under the water.)
“Growing up on the Isle of Man, I always felt a strong connection to nature, yet my own body felt dictated by rigid, unwritten rules. When I joined Ben’s project, it was a quiet rebellion. For years, I had accepted the chore of shaving as an evolutionary tax for being born female. Stopping was incredibly liberating, but it also brought a strange vulnerability. In a close-knit island community, stepping outside the norm gets noticed quickly. I’ve received warm, supportive smiles from other girls, but also tight-lipped grimaces in the local supermarket. This shoot isn't about shock value; it’s about normalcy. It’s an honest look at the skin I live in, capturing that bittersweet transition from performing womanhood to simply living it.”
Shelly, speaking as part of a tribute to Ben Hopper’s “Natural Beauty” project.
