Esme Littlechild
Vessels
Through Vessels (2025), a multi-disciplinary project, Littlechild explores the intricate connection between feminine beauty and family heritage. The work invites spectators to reflect on the societal expectations that shape how we perceive and relate to our bodies. Drawing from her own experiences, Littlechild contemplates the pressures of physical appearance and the inevitable anxieties of ageing. Our bodies, shaped by the genes of generations past, serve as vessels through which we live, breathe, and experience the world. Yet, in pursuit of ever-changing beauty ideals, we often alter, modify, and erase these inherited traits, creating a fractured relationship with our physical form: one marked by disconnection and unresolved trauma.
