Venus

This is a one-piece project that highlights Sandro Botticelli’s famous creation The Birth of Venus. 

In our society, one of the constant factors in evaluating beauty is the reference images of famous people. Top bloggers, glossy magazines and other media impose certain stereotypes and criteria of female beauty. These include young age, lack of flaws, smooth skin, full lips, and other similar attributes. Thus, age, naturalness and naturalness are taken beyond the concept of “beauty”. 

Taking the aspect of women’s appearance as a basis, I raise a deeper social issue in my project. To what extent has each of us learned to love and appreciate ourselves, to accept our uniqueness? Be brave enough to be yourself.
