This diptych explores the psychological effects of expectations put on women’s appearances. When we focus too much on maintaining a perfect image we lose sight of our worth and identity. We can become trapped behind a mask of makeup, cute clothes, and our instagram profile. It doesn’t help that advertising and social media target women and maintain toxic standards. This is devastating for one’s mental health. With this piece, I hope to raise awareness and encourage others to break free from the harmful cycle.

Creativity means expressing your inner self. It is sharing your unique perspective with the world. Every time I get behind my camera my goal is to communicate my reality: the emotions and color that I experience, and inspire others to do so as well.
