The aphorism, Your Body Is Not A Trend, is the centre of this critique, reminding viewers that our bodies are not mere commodities to be bought and sold, nor should they be subject to the fleeting ideals of the beauty, health, or fitness industries. The video collage weaves together a series of fragmented images torn from magazines and overlaid with symbols of the wellness industry.

This work aims to contribute to the ongoing conversation about body image and consumerism in modern society. It highlights the toxic impact that societal pressures and consumer culture have on our self-perception, especially in a digital age where algorithms prioritise content that promotes unattainable standards of beauty. By presenting bodies in all their complexity and imperfection, this work seeks to create an opportunity for dialogue around self-empowerment, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own relationship with their bodies and the external forces that shape their perceptions.
