The absurdity of self observation: At the heart of this piece lies an exploration of the inherent absurdity entwined with the intricate act of self-observation.
This composition serves as a poignant commentary on the often overlooked, yet profoundly impactful nature of scrutinizing one's own existence. I attempted to embark on a meticulous and insightful journey, preceding the creation of this piece, by engaging in a series of interviews with a diverse array of women.
These interviews served as a crucial foundation, delving into the multifaceted layers of features that occupy the forefront of these women's consciousness. Then I sought to make nuanced intricacies revealed during these conversations, then made a conscious decision to not merely document but to transcend the mundane in the wav of demonstrating these features. then chose chose to accentuate and distort these features, thereby highlighting the inherently asinine expectations that individuals, particularly women in this context, impose upon themselves. Whether that be 'wide ribs', an 'uneven chest', their 'muffin top' or their 'bingo wings'
The distortion becomes a lens through which i try to invite the viewer to reflect upon the societal constructs and unrealistic standards that often govern self-perception.
