White Masks

From the colour of our skin to our height & weight & hair, we are judged by 
society in regards to how much we fit their conventions of beauty & often
ostracized when we don’t regardless of whether some of said features go
against what is native to said region or not. It influences many aspects of
society & our standing in it. Many of the most widespread beauty standards
are an effect of globalization & the spread of digital media. 

My project explores the more standard conventions of beauty juxtaposed with more unconventional rural ones & what cultural & social practices give rise to said beauty standards. It seeks to find at what point do constructive methods of pursuing beauty turn destructive.
