2016: I Am A Beautiful Monster

This series explores the raw, surreal tension between self-perception and societal ideals, examining the fractured lens through which we view the human body. "I Am a Beautiful Monster" distorts, magnifies, and reframes our relationship with physicality. It captures the chaos of body dysmorphia—a cacophony of whispers that twist reality into something grotesque yet compelling. The images confront the gaze of a society obsessed with perfection, revealing a world where the monster and the muse are the same. Each portrait is a dance between beauty and distortion, symmetry and chaos, fragility and resilience. The work invites the viewer to question: What is accurate, and what is a mirage built by expectation? What lies beneath the polished surface we demand of ourselves? Through this surreal lens, the series becomes a reclamation—a monstrous beauty that defies categorization, confronting our deepest insecurities and reshaping them into art.
