Every body is a flower land.
Flower Land 1
Every body is a flower land.
Many people, especially females, still have low self-esteem due to the "flaws" in their bodies. Through this project, I want to explore the possible aesthetic of imperfect skin through illustrations. I hope the images can help people with the same concerns embrace their lovely imperfections and fight against appearance anxiety. The designs depict the "painful" experience of having a visible skin condition, parody the stereotypical statements, and embrace the uniqueness of my skin.
I chose textile as a medium since the tufted/punch-needled surface looks similar to the bumpy skin. The final format of the works will be rugs that invite viewers to hug or relax on the illustrations.
