The Prettiest Part of Rumination: A Photo Series

Flor Ameira's exhibition "The Prettiest Part of Rumination" uses photography and performance to challenge internal and external norms for women, their bodies, and how they relate to societal expectations. Exploring the constant embrace and rejection of her relationship with her surroundings, Flor uses physical distortions and restrictions of the body that reference conflicted internal feelings, which results in an inability to recognize the woman behind the fabric. Even though her portraits may seem disturbing at first glance, Flor’s use of color, light, and gestures suggest beauty within the constrained.
