Why I Removed the Transformation Art Exhibit from My Website

A few days ago, I removed the Transformation Art Exhibit from my website.

It had been online for sixteen years.

(For anyone unfamiliar with it, in 2008, I started an online art exhibit using my body as a blank canvas and food as an artistic medium. Every month, I posted updates, including my changing biometrics and pictures of my body transformation.)

I decided leaving it online was perpetuating the harmful influences of diet culture and eating disorders.

So, I removed it.
