‘The Female Costume’ 

2017

 

 

 

 

 

 

‘The Female Costume’, is influenced by Simone de Beau theory, ‘One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.’ By using conceptual theories as elements, this series explores how a woman’s attitude towards her body and bodily functions changes over the years. In addition to this, how society influences this attitude. The work explores boundaries between media and notions of femininity by responding to pressures women face in the modern society of social media dominance. The aim is to question the unusual expectations around the real and surreal social construct of being female and unrealistic beauty ideals.
