Stigma
This project visualises the imperfect body as a way to humanise it and to show it as normality. Instead of hiding what is usually stigmatised and considered unpleasant to see, I exposed these people's scars presenting their bodies as classical sculptures in order to reference classical beauty and certain representational standards which the body is supposed to fit. The body represented as beautiful and the scars on the skin create a disturbing juxtaposition which I hope will lead the viewer to raise questions about body expectation and acceptance.
