MISShapes

MISShapes is a monochrome series examining the construction of the female “social body” within contemporary image culture. Through advertising and mass media, the female body is fragmented into parts, reduced to isolated forms that reinforce narrow ideals of beauty and fuel cycles of desire, anxiety, and consumption. Approaching the body as a landscape of shapes and textures, the work uses light as a sculptural tool to shift culturally coded fragments of the female body into abstraction. Through these visual deconstructions, MISShapes challenges inherited ideals of classical beauty, reimagining the female form as fluid, unstable, and resistant to fixed definition.
