Title: Natural
This piece is about the way we think of “natural beauty” and the stereotypes that surround it.
By merging cactus forms with human legs, I wanted to question what “natural” even means, and who gets to decide it. Placing it in this surreal, contained setting highlights the tension between what grows freely and what we try to shape or frame as “acceptable.”
The message here is that beauty doesn’t have one definition. “Natural” isn’t just soft or easy – it can be resilient, strange, even uncomfortable, and still meaningful. This work is a playful but critical way of looking at the standards we’ve inherited, and an invitation to see natural beauty as something broader, wilder, and more honest.
