We are programmed to tell each other we’re not fat because for too many people fats are the worst thing you can be. Society has turned fat into a synonym for ugly, but fat just means fat. Like when I say I am fat I happen to use this word as a self-descriptor. And I don’t say it to put myself down. And certainly don’t say it in hopes someone will say “oh no, you’re not fat” but most of the time people say in a manner so that they can put me down. I create my artworks to express my inner feelings so in this wooden sculpture work is a bit different from my other works because I mainly belong to painting field but as an artist, I always wanted to try something out of my comfort zone and for the first time I thought of experimenting with wood carving. with my concept,which depicts the two different perceptions of an individual a I want everyone to find the beauty of the person which lies beneath the skin, and not judged outer appearance. So my artwork is all about body shaming. I truly think that inside of an individual is much more complex and layered so I am presenting the internal beauty and complexity as the main treatment. The concept of this artwork is inspired by ‘PERFECT BODY’ ideologies and expectations of the female body placed on women in society both historically and in the present day. My work is a constant reminder to myself that I am not ugly because I am fat but the perception of the society is ugly that makes me feel like that. so in context to the this, I made this sculpture on both the side i.e front and back about the same thing for instance what I have observed that publically everyone is like we are against former body ideologies but personally they are still stuck with the same perception that a female should look in a certain way that it is very mandatory for every girl to have fairer skin tone and she must have 34,26,34 figure. basically my sculpture represents two face of the society On one side they are against all former female body ideologies and one side they are promoting different creme brands that will make look good or make their skin tone fairer.
