Really getting into this idea of shape and image reduction. The final images are so clean and bold, but still manage to convey a message of body acceptance and positivity without being overly detailed.
The two images at the top were based around the idea of nipple censorship for women, I particularly like the image of the blue and pink nipples on reversed backgrounds. This was meaning to represent the similarity between male and female nipples and how there is literally no difference between them except the fact that women nipples and breasts have become overly sexualised and therefore have to be censored.
I think as a set of images these are all really strong. I think they promote body confidence and diversity in an effective yet simple way, using bold bright colours and shapes to convey message and meaning to an audience. I'd really enjoy making more work like this, the visual journals taught me a lot about how to create work that revolves around a contextual theme, and in this case a theme that i can relate to quite a lot. I'm looking forward to creating more work like this that can help people come to terms with their own body and self-acceptance.
