Piece description from the artist
“That’s Not Very Flattering” reflects how seemingly harmless comments can quietly shape how we see our own bodies. The bold, sweeping movement and vivid color echo the tension between self-expression and the pressure to appear smaller, softer, or more acceptable. This piece challenges the idea that style exists to correct or conceal, inviting viewers to question who they’re really dressing for. At its core, it’s a celebration of visibility—an affirmation that confidence doesn’t require permission.
