Toxic Beauty

Project type

Mixed Media

Date

December 2021

Location

New Jersey

This mixed media collage questions the visual culture of beauty through magazines and the toxicity that it simultaneously pushes. During the process of cutting out people there was an immediate recognition of the overwhelming amount of alcohol ads. This piece reflects on how Western beauty standards can be just as damaging as the literal poison in our systems. I aimed to create a vibrant collage filled with color, juxtaposed against an image of a decaying internal body rendered in black ink. This contrast serves to disrupt the usual positive associations we have with color, inviting viewers to reconsider the true implications of beauty and consumption.
