These works explore the power structure of beauty and the media.
Referencing fashion magazines and ads I am interested in exploring how the figure is used as a commodity, bringing up issues of control and sexuality.
The wrapping of the faces is meant as a metaphor for being consumed by the things we buy and the ideas sold to us from the media.
The façade of the media is an exaggerated and then simplified mirror of society and affects the way we act, think and treat each other.
This collection is a combination of oil paintings and objects made from found material.
