How I Understand Body Image
Body image isn’t simply something we have—it’s something we experience.

Dissatisfied with Body Image
Body image is a term trying to do a lot of work. It can describe far more than its name suggests.
● About Me

Hiya, I’m Darren, a Kiwi writer and researcher exploring how contemporary life shapes the way we experience our bodies and body image.
Through my writing, I bring together ideas from media, psychology, sociology, and body studies to better understand the influences that shape everyday bodily experience.
My hope is to encourage curiosity, critical thinking, and a richer conversation about what it means to live in a body.
