BEAUTY IN DARKNESS
Beauty in Darkness is an exploration of beauty and body image while in
isolation during the 2020 global coronavirus pandemic. The insecurities
and dissatisfaction we have about our appearances and perceived flaws
were felt more acutely during the isolation period as we scrutinised
ourselves and challenged our fragile self-perceptions at a time of
heightened anxieties and fears. These perceptions lead us to overlook the
beauty in our uniqueness and individualism.
This is a response to the hidden beauty within us and our surroundings
that lie concealed.
This is a celebration of acceptance and appreciation of who we are.
