Unrealistic expectations (Series)
DESCRIPTION
Exploring themes like unrealistic body expectations, hyper sexualization and woman objectification set by social medias such as instagram, the idea was to drag attention to feminism with fun and girly but yet subversive images that played with popular belief and stereotypes. Every image has a visual upsetting detail that echo to women perception. As a matter of fact, the rise of social medias has increased dysmorphia and sexualisation of the women bodies : for instance breast and especially nipples are censored because viewed as sexual attribute, and woman are retouching their bodies in unrealistic ways to fit a flawless impossible aesthetic.
