“Natural Beauty”
Collage, ink, pastel on paper
Natural beauty is fading as many women are turning to
plastic surgery to create the ‘ideal’ perfection of beauty. Plastic surgery is
not the answer to beautification, though many women are influenced to believe
that going under the knife will preserve their youth. The figure in this piece
symbolises the quest to find true beauty. The Cherry Blossom tree symbolises
the characteristics of feminism, beauty, love, power, and sexuality. As a tree
has deep roots, a woman must look deep within her heart, soul and mind to find
her true beauty.
