Photos of women in control of their bodies

Whether it's squeezing up on a bus while a manspreader takes up three seats next to you or the online vitriol thrown at women who speak out on social platforms, we’re constantly being reminded that the idea of simply existing comfortably is a luxury not allowed to many women and nonbinary people. However, one photographer with a track record for discarding societal notions of what marginalised people should or should not be is Ashley Armitage.

Known for her bare-all approach to photography, 21-year-old Armitage is tackling this enforced notion of taking up as little space as possible in her latest series, “Taking Back What’s Ours”. “As girls and marginalised folks, taking up less space has been ingrained into us.

In physics, tension describes the pulling force exerted by each end of a string, cable, chain, or similar one-dimensional continuous object, or by each end of a rod, truss member, or similar three dimensional object.

At the atomic level, atoms or molecules have electrostatic attraction; when atoms or molecules are pulled apart from each other gain electromagnetic potential energy, tension is produced. Vox refugee: Abdul. Abdul, 23.
