My first collection, Body, is an act that reclaims the female figure as something sacred rather than something to sexualise. My work challenges the conventional gaze, confronting outdated narratives over how women’s bodies are seen and understood. My work is subtlety political, condemning the sexualisation of women through pornography, social media, and movies. It’s reclaiming the women’s figure as art — through art.

My process begins by thrifting abandoned canvases because sourcing them brand new is contributing unnecessarily to environmental degradation. By repurposing materials, I honour sustainability as a fundamental part of my creative ethos. Using spray paint, I start with marking the composition, building from the darkest layer to the lightest, creating the beautiful contrast in shadows and highlights that truly bring each piece to life. This technique not only enhances the visual impact but also embodies the tension between visibility and concealment—mirroring the complex societal relationship with femininity that my collection, “Body,” seeks to challenge and reclaim.

The mission to reclaim the female figure in art is far from superficial; it’s a radical act that disrupts entrenched narratives. For too long, women’s bodies have been commodified and silenced, reduced to objects rather than celebrated as autonomous, complex, and sacred.

My mission in creating this collection is to confront society’s discomfort head-on. I hope for audiences to question their own biases about gender, sexuality, and power structures. I want to provoke a visceral reaction, inviting people into a conversation rather than offering easy answers. I hope for the female form to become a visual manifesto — demanding respect, and a rethinking of cultural norms.

In essence, my work is a call to dismantle the passive consumption of female images and replace it with active engagement — where viewers are forced to question, feel, and ultimately understand the true identity of being a woman. This expanding conversation is essential to shifting culture from objectification to reverence, and it demands nothing less than to state the problem for exactly what it is. Expand this so it fills the entire block. Expand this so it fills the entire block.
