Unthreading the skin
Self acceptance is often preached as the ultimate goal for a woman. But how can we ever fully accept our bodies as they are, when the beauty industry is selling endless products, promoting a way of hating your body into a new and better version.
Inspired by the film The Substance, Maxime visualises how the pressure for women to remain eternally young is still very present in today's media landscape. In 'Unthreading the skin', you see a young woman in a room with a distorted perception of her body, undergoing an endless process to alter it. The thought of her appearance becomes an obsession, driving her to madness in pursuit of the ultimate goal—one that is constantly changing.
