Through my artworks, I attempted to build awareness regarding the negative impacts of beauty standards on women. All over the world, women feel pressured to resemble their countries' definition of "beautiful," which promotes female oppression, negative attitudes towards bodies, and the suppression of self-expression. The exhibition was influenced by personal experience. As a young western female, I am affected by my culture's beauty standard between the daily comments about my gender and society's constant pressure to be pretty.
The artwork above, Abrupt growth, represents women's quick transition from childhood to adulthood due to the oppressing dangers of the world. The wedding dress was made out of my childhood drawings to illustrate women's rapid evolution from innocence, freedom, and youth to responsibilities and maturity. More literally, the artwork symbolises the immorality of child marriages, which tears children from their early years. The dress was almost entirely made out of recycled materials for ethical purposes.
