Richard Perin, Emerging artist (ART 2023)

These images are composites of images I have taken, and of images from adult content. By creating a montage, I have altered both the meaning and ‘cleansed’ the images. At some deeper lever this is a statement about power, and the use of images in reinforcing how women are represented in media, particularly social media where nudity is frowned upon, and women are forced to mutilate themselves, or at least images of themselves, to be seen.

Images have been resized for web display, which may cause some loss of image quality. Note: Original high-resolution images are used for judging.
