Sales of Beauty

Size: 18" x 24"
Medium: Mixed Media

This piece shows how beauty is treated like a product: fragile, disposable, and always being changed to match society’s standards. By placing human features in supermarket trays with barcodes and warning labels, the work points to how bodies are packaged and reshaped to fit outside expectations. Each face shows a part of this cycle: surgery, covering flaws, mechanical fixes, and performing beauty through decoration. The clean, product-like packaging contrasts with the human identity inside, raising questions about where self-confidence ends and harm begins. In the end, the work asks viewers to think about the costs of treating beauty as something to buy and sell, reminding us that while beauty has power, it is also very fragile.
