Meat District

Meat District is a photography project that approaches the issue of the beauty industry, where the pressure to conform to beauty standards has reached a point where Facetune and Instagram filters routinely function as templates for a skyrocketing number of aesthetic procedures. The project is a response to my own anxieties and struggles of having body dysmorphia – where I always felt the pressure to constantly change my appearance and my body in order to be accepted and loved. With Meat District I wanted to explore a more vulnerable and rawer side of the relationship with our own bodies and appearance, the idea of how society pressures us to change ourselves in order to be accepted.
