About my project
My chosen final pieces were a part of my final major project, which was ‘Body Positivity’. The subject is extremely personal and important to me. I am a great believer that all body types, shapes, imperfections, features and just all differences should be celebrated, no matter what they may be.
I have noticed plenty of negativity online towards body types that don’t fit an exact criteria or the strict expectations from modern society, which is incredibly harmful and just unrealistic, and so I hoped to portray these body types in a positive manner.
I focused primarily on creating illustrations in Photoshop of these body types, as well as creating illustrations of some body positive influencers/internet personalities I stumbled across along the way.
Other than this being my main focus, I also created a small series of lino prints, as well as some sculpting with airdry clay, and some hand drawings to tie it all together.
