Description
Kiss it! is the result of a long-term collaboration between photographer Abbie Trayler-Smith and Shannon, a young woman living with obesity. Over the course of 12-years, Trayler-Smith documented Shannon's journey from teenager to adult-navigating friendships, family, firstboyfriends, prom nights, holidays and jobs. Shannon has been the central inspiration for Trayler-Smith's long-term project, 'The Big O' examining the issue of obesity in school-age children and young adults.
