My work explores the external and internal perception of the body and its image, sparking a conversation about the ideal physical appearance and the tension between reality, individual desires and societal norms. With a hands-on approach, I transform readymades like shapewear and underwear, breathing new life into these artifacts and infusing them with profound, layered meanings. Each creation is a visual commentary on the complexities of beauty standards, inviting us to question the constant pursuit of an ever-changing ideal.

Within my work, I want to show the body related struggles that we as humans are confronted with every day. Most of us don't own a smooth and 'perfect' body like the ones presented in (social) media. On the contrary, our bodies show signs of our lived experiences, like weight gain and weight loss, pregnancies, scars from accidents and trauma. I want to invite the viewers to find what they can relate to within my work, to reflect about the relationship to their bodies and finally to develop compassion and acceptance towards their own bodies and the ones around them. This is my form of activism against the beauty norms of our society, which I practice at fairs, exhibitions and on social media to stimulate a broader discussion about body acceptance.
