The captivating shapes of the female body have always been a subject of representation and inspiration in art. Mother of creative energy, it’s depiction tells a story of time, place and mainly regard. Covered, uncovered, hidden, saturated, the female body has been used to set an outline of beauty, but also to disrupt it. Mostly to dominate, eventually to break free.

​

In more recent years, as women have become more vocal in all social and economic spheres, and due to an increased democratization of image consumption and mass-media reign, the ideals of feminine beauty and the body alike have changed.
