These digital paintings revolve around the anxieties and insecurities around experiences in my own body.
This work critiques the ways in which social media censors, sexualizes and silences women’s bodies. Several images in this series revolve around the tasks of motherhood and daily life such as breastfeeding, lactating, pumping, bathing etc. Although these digital paintings are abstracted through pixelation, several have been removed for not following community guidelines on nudity and sexuality.
The standards of beauty that are perpetuated through photoshop and editing of the body is harmful and the relentless censorship of the reality of women’s bodies by the media is misogynistic oppression.
