Mabelle wants to show beauty in human flaws.
It's not something that has to be erased or hidden. Just look and appreciate.

For this project I went back into my old diary. Moments I wrote about the unlove I experience to myself. The drawings of bodies and how I looked at it. I saw flaws through the judgement of others, but what if this judgement can be made softer. Clothes that manipulate the view of the watcher. Making parts of the body blurry and quides your vision. To learn about the way we look or are taughted how to look.
Th end results are on canvas. Acrylic paintings of human shapes with textiel.
