Inner Beauty
The two most influential people that caused me to think of this project was Frida Kahlo and Ana Mendieta. I learned about Frida the same time I learned about Ana Mendieta which was in my last semester's art class who talked briefly about Frida. My focus was Ana Mendieta I felt as though she had so much power during the time she was known, causing a lot of other female artist to go out of their comfort zone. While both are my favorites Mendieta was the one female artist that caught my attention the most. All her pieces while one of my favorites which was the one, I posted on the blog of the “facial transplant.’’
She showed that females do not have to have the norm of what a female should look like while also making art performances that causes many people to question her boldness of talking about the uncomfortable questions and reality checks that females go through. While she also faced her own and having marital problems in her relationship. She and Frida Kahlo showed us as a woman that we have inner beauty and do not need to look the way how we feel while also making it okay for others to express themselves. They gave me aspiration to create this project as way for myself but also basically a message to others that feel this way, feeling alone and only looking at the negative comments and the positive ones.
