Shape Of Her: Beauty Within Marks
By encouraging self-love, empowerment, and freedom from body image, body positivity is a transforming campaign that challenges expected beauty standards and creates an accepting culture where women may define their own attractiveness and live genuinely without fear of social criticism. Body confidence encourages the idea that all women should feel appreciated and respected by making a culture of acceptance and respect for others. It encourages women to live openly as their true selves, define their own beauty, and resist outside pressure to fit in. Education, structural change, and a dedication to valuing the uniqueness of everyone are essential to realize this goal.
Shape Of Every Her I
Fold-Up Poster (Typography & Visual Collage)
Shape of Every Her I is a photographic and typographic fold-up poster advocating for body liberation and inclusivity. Featuring bright duotone portraits of women of color overlaid with personal statements and a bold central message, the piece contrasts lived experience with stark statistics from Teen Vogue on early body shaming. Grid layout and contrast of red and cyan type emphasize the need to reclaim identity from cultural narratives. With its outspoken call for "body freedom" and "dignity in all diversity," this poster can be considered both a personal declaration and a call for public action, reminding everyone that women are strengthened by being accepted, rather than perfected.
Shape Of Every Her II
Fold-up Poster (Black & White Portrait Photography)
Shape of Every Her II is a black and white fold-up poster that explores how women see and feel about their bodies. It shows layered portraits with hands covering faces and eyes, reflecting the struggle between confidence and shame. The 3D glitch effect symbolizes how body image can feel broken or unclear. The colors split when viewed with 3D glasses, highlighting the emotional tension. This piece quietly speaks out, making space for honesty and self-acceptance.
Four Poster Series: Shape of Her: Beauty Within Their Stories
Shape of Her: Beauty Within Their Stories is a four-part wall-mounted poster series that brings to light the often hidden and deeply personal experiences women face surrounding body image and identity. Through evocative photographic portraits interwoven with expressive typography, each poster captures fragments of real stories—unfiltered reflections on discrimination, shame, resilience, and healing. These narratives are rooted in the complex interplay of family dynamics, cultural expectations, and the ever-present influence of social media.
Each poster becomes a visual and emotional landscape, where distorted affirmations, glitch effects, and partially concealed facial expressions mirror the internal conflict and emotional fragmentation caused by societal pressures. The 3D glitch aesthetic highlights how body image is often fragmented—filtered through shame, comparison, and silence. If you close one eye while wearing red and blue 3D glasses, it creates an effect of separating the red and blue layers in the photography, emphasizing the emotional and visual fragmentation. This piece becomes a quiet rebellion, giving shape to feelings often left unspoken, and reclaiming space for emotional honesty in the journey toward self-love and self-acceptance.
She Comes Together
She Comes Together is an acrylic puzzle installation that symbolizes self-discovery and body acceptance. Each interlocking piece represents fragmented aspects of identity shaped by lived experience and societal pressures. Assembled, the puzzle becomes a powerful metaphor for healing, illustrating how embracing each part leads to emotional wholeness and personal reclamation.
A Story on Women’s Experiences with Societal Body Standards
Their Stories is a deeply personal documentary that amplifies the voices of women as they share their lived experiences with body image and discrimination. Through intimate storytelling, this project reveals how beauty standards are enforced not just by society, but through the quiet, everyday moments—within families, on social media, and in the women’s own self-perception.
Each story uncovers the emotional weight of expectations and the lasting impact of judgment, shame, and comparison. From being told to hide stretch marks to being ridiculed for body hair, the women reflect on how they've been made to feel "less than"—and how they are reclaiming their power, one truth at a time.
This documentary doesn’t offer solutions—it offers space. Space to be heard, to be seen, and to redefine what beauty means on their own terms.
