Choen: Beautify!

Follow these rules and follow those tips and you'll be beautiful. Buy these products and consume those pills and you'll be beautiful. Magic serum to look young! You'll be beautiful. Wear this, wear that, put this on your face and you'll be beautiful. Pose like this, reshape your body like that, you'll be beautiful. 36-24-36 go under the knife and you'll be beautiful. Just do as what you are told and you'll be beautiful.

Repeat.

The beauty standards is artificial; it's synthetic.

Making this artwork made me realize just how much self doubt there is within about what it means to look beautiful in the eyes of others.

This finished piece also departs from the more traditional line art style in this series. This is just way glossier, like how the accepted fashion and beauty standards.
