The embroidery series Radical Bodies is taking up the issue of beauty ideal in modern society.
I was struggling with my body image my whole life and whenever I saw pictures of the ideal women, that I will never be, I felt worthless and insecure. A few years ago I discovered the internet movement of bodypositivity. I felt so happy that some of my sisters* didn’t submit to the bodyshaming beauty standards of the modern world. They encouraged me to be proud of who I am. It’s not just about fat girls wearing plus size dresses and looking cute in it. It’s more like a selflove campaign. It’s for all human beings that feel excluded from the society because their bodies are different. For everybody who feels uncomfortable in their own skin. It’s about encouraging each other and stop hating on each other.
That’s a thing I want to work on with my art. Showing people, who don’t know about anything but the ideal standard, that we are all beautiful. That we don’t have to change first.
We are already beautiful.
