My research has explored the meanings and definitions of identity and beauty. What does it mean to be beautiful today? How do you learn to feel beautiful and why is it that outer beauty has such a huge significance and value for us? People, particularly of our generation, have tremendous problems with finding their own beauty and often feel compelled to adapt to certain standards. Western society provides many norms and rules. Society impacts how we view, respond, and react to every experience. How can we find a true self (an identity) in a society that has little tolerance for diversity? This project is about people who are affected by society’s stiff standards and stereotypes in relation to Sexuality, Gender & Race. With my Portraits I want to demonstrate different definitions of beauty away from the conventional standard. I want to celebrate the beauty of diversity and make people rethink their biases.
