In this project, the artist uses photography as a tool for exploration and introspection, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own perception of self. Through reflective and evocative imagery, the artist highlights the complexity of human identity and the challenges related to self-esteem.
The photographs delicately and sensitively showcase the diversity of human bodies, revealing the unique beauty in the lines, curves, and textures of each subject’s skin. At the same time, the artist delves into the deep insecurities that may reside within the intimacy of each individual, challenging the standards of perfection imposed by society and external pressures.
Through this project, the artist encourages the audience to look beyond superficial appearances and to grasp the richness and complexity of the human experience, celebrating diversity and promoting genuine self-acceptance.
“I have always been fascinated by the different curves of the body, by the lines that form through one movement or another, surrounded by people who look in others for what they would like to see in the mirror without realizing that what they are actually looking at is their own story. And mine too, a story.”
