Corkodiles : Challenging body standards by exploring techniques of cutting and assembling primitive materials, which are mainly derivatives of wood, in order to rethink the visual expression of the body.

Description

The motive of this work is to illustrate and visualize the socio-political objectification of the female body, in order to suggest explanations as to how female body standards are derived as a result of this objectification. The objective was obtained by exploring cut and assembling designs with powerful visual expressions, with sustainability as a point of emphasis. As the result 8 shapes were created out of one single pattern formula, the formula that would probably never be discovered if the starting point were not a fragile cork material.
