Perpetual Beauty
Over the past centuries, the illustration of the female body in western culture was heavily influenced by a concept of youthful beauty and suggests it as a “healthy” and desirable norm. The expectation this creates weighs heavily on the population of women who are exposed to it and urges them to fight ageing by any means possible, denying the natural process of their bodies transforming. In my project, I aim to document women of all ages and sizes to represent the essential beauty of the feminine form, one that is eternal and free from the constructs of contemporary beauty standards. Using the nude as a means of artistic expression, the series also attempts to present a more timeless depiction of a woman leaving an erotic character, in addition to feedback on the ideological background of the fine art tradition of past centuries.
