Developed under the lead of Alexandra Gordienko.

This project looks at how beauty and self-image are shaped by society. Inspired by Agnès Varda, especially her film Cléo from 5 to 7, it explores how we shape and change our bodies to fit trends and expectations. Posture, gestures, and styling highlight vulnerability, confidence, and the ways we construct our identity.

The work shows deliberate fashion choices and props, also reflecting Varda’s playful and experimental style. It shows the body as both stage and subject, exploring how we refine ourselves under ever-changing beauty standards.
