About this artwork
It is human instinct to constantly have a desire for physical beauty & wealth. This series underlines this sort of human nature of trying to ‘belong’ to society’s developed perception towards beauty. Idealized or commercialized beauty standards, such as tanning, weight loss, or wearing fur, can be highly damaging physically and psychologically. My imagery reflects on these materialistic values, and questions whether beauty overcomes truth.
