This piece is based off a phot that I took of myself and recreated and modified using acrylic a point on canvas. This piece explores my personal struggle with identity, in relation to body image and the female beauty standard. Throughout art history since the Renaissance, the depiction of skin was associated with the creation of “life” on canvas. The dripping of the skin in the piece shows how the quality of this life can be deteriorated through the impossible journey of trying to meet the beauty standard and ultimately failing.

Creativity is a vessel for my emotions and things that I can't say out loud. My creativity is how I process my experiences, and it is a very personal and meaningful experience for me. I put things I don't understand on paper. I make the art understand it for me.
