Theme: Body Image
This series focused on analyzing the fetishized areas of the female figure in art history: breasts and buttocks. These body parts were selected due to the proclivity of ample flesh on these regions; the rendering of flesh was a major facet of these artworks. A secondary reason for the chosen anatomical areas is the association of round with voluptuous or fat. Round can be beautiful or ugly. An analysis of these body parts would raise questions about arbitrary notions of beauty and contradictory norms for the female image across time.
