Abbie Trayler-Smith and Shannon.

A young woman living with obesity. Over the course of twelve years, Trayler-Smith documented Shannon’s journey from teenager to adult—navigating friendships, family, first boyfriends, prom nights, holidays and jobs. Shannon has been the central inspiration for Trayler-Smith’s long-term project, ‘The Big O’ focusing on obesity in school-age children and young adults.
