Redefining Beauty Standards

DESTINATION: Apprenticeship

The focus in this project is to capture the emotional pressures we feel from beauty standards and to de-glamourise this. The use of ripping and tearing methods in the work creates a distorted appearance and signifies that human imperfections are to be celebrated because we can re-define beauty standards however we want.  

the intention is for the work to have an influential and positive impact on young people and to educate them in changing the way they see themselves and therefore improving their mental health.
