THE FEMININE, THE GROTESQUE, THE FREE

This handmade book explores the concept of the feminine grotesque through five chapters of journalism, poetry, criticism, and personal writing. The project challenges traditional ideals of beauty by reframing grotesqueness as a site of emotional power and freedom. A staged photographic series accompanies the text, using visceral imagery and performance to embody femininity as unruly, excessive, and defiantly human. The project extends into a branded release of the book, including merchandise and billboard designs that translate its visual language into a broader public-facing campaign.
