Tanning Bed

This piece is part of the artist’s ” Contradictions” collection

With the title “Tanning Bed”, the artist critiques excess and its consequences, particularly in the context of beauty standards. The exaggerated red tones on the face in the mirror suggest overexposure, both literal, as in the case of tanning, and metaphorical, as in the pressures placed on women to conform to beauty ideals.
The contrast between the main figure and her reflection implies a moment of realization, as if she sees the damage too late and wants to stop.
