hi, my name is Kristie Abi- Najem
please call me Kris

Aby Stars is derived from my last name - Abi Najem. Najem means Star
& i do want to change it but it’s a domain i bought and am gonna stick with it for the time being

welcome to my exchange for change :)!

I realized i wanted to specialize in performance art when i was 5 years old

during my first solo dance performance in front of a large audience at the Lebanon Evangelical School for Boys & Girls
I’d get asked years later “weren’t you the girl who belly danced on stage when you were in Upper KG?” (yes, and i continued to perform dance until i was 18)

I learned Hip hop, and more dance styles at different dance schools in Lebanon like Caracalla & The Private Club

Belly dance was the style i learned by observing Arab dancers and Shakira,
I’d dance for hours on end when the house would be empty

the neighbors in the building across from us would be watching, and occasionally shining a laser into the salon where i’d be performing (creepy HAHA)


I continue to explore my belly breath dance until today (tho i did forget my passion for it for about 4 years as i navigated depression)

My love to perform expanded to include many other disciplines such as life modeling, theatre, singing, gymnastics, photography, videography, and acting

never in my life would i have thought though, that i would end up naked
in crowds, and on the internet
naked in my own space was big for me
but that’s where it started, me spending naked time with me

I studied Public Nudity at the University of Toronto after moving to Canada when i was 19
i began to understand the difference between nudity and eroticism (since at the time, i did not feel comfortable with eroticism in any sense)

So the separation was crucial to the beginning of my journey in the nude
After realizing that i loved my body naked, much more than i ever did in clothing, i started to truly understand the unique type of freedom nudity brings

or whatever that means for me

Nudity became a state i love, a state of love, to me, and those whom i love, became obstacles
starting with my father, people who used to call themselves my bestest of friends
every one faded
completely
as i continued to uncover.

I choose, as i chose then, Nakedness.

You see Nudity is not about your body shape, it’s not about the way you look naked
it’s about how you feel. And how your feelings change, as you sit with them and experience and dissect them

Nudity is the absence of context, the absence of reason, the absence of intent
nothingness

People who have feelings come up for them, as they see how i show up in my body, are not allowed to place the responsibility of managing those feelings on me
what comes up within you, when you see me show up in my body, is your responsibility, not mine.

I am currently 27, grateful to still be exploring the world through a raw nude lens, through my own eyes,
Life means nothing if i am simply mirroring other people
i might as well cease to exist, by being them
This perspective is what finally got me to stop stigmatizing my own body hair as well
after hating it for so long, epilating & waxing it before it even came out fully, i have now let it all out fully, and i absolutely love how it makes me feel

It’s been difficult, not having the support i used to have when i’d perform more socially acceptable forms of art, BUT, organic support has been blooming
and there’s something special about its unbiased nature
something uniquely reassuring
& i accept the way things have turned out to be :)!

Thank you for coming here,
