Heavy Is The Crown

"Heavy is the Crown" examines the evolving standards of beauty in the digital age, questioning how technology reshapes our perceptions of self-worth, self-care, and identity. By incorporating abstract floral elements—structured petals and swirling forms—I symbolize the tension between natural beauty and the pressure to conform to digitally curated ideals. 

Flowers have long represented growth, transformation, and fragility. In this piece, they reflect the delicate balance between self-acceptance and societal expectations, mirroring the way beauty standards continuously shift under the influence of social media and digital culture. Just as a flower adapts to its environment, we, too, navigate an ever-changing landscape of ideals that redefine self-love and self-alteration.
