About the Book
If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, where does self-worth reside? This was the central question behind UGLY ME, a multi-media sound installation that explored the interplay between appearance and self-worth through fashion photography, selfies and spoken prose. The spoken-word installation included twelve poems collected in this chapbook, which played as a backdrop to dozens of comical personal images and large-scale typographic collage. UGLY ME was displayed in Seattle’s Jack Straw New Media Gallery in July and August 2015.
