Ceramic Corset

This ceramic piece reimagines a functional garment as an object of art, transforming it into an impractical wear. Built to scale on a dress form, the piece was constructed in two sections and bound with ribbon after firing. Styled for a show hosted by Fluidity Fashion, the corset is commentary on the history of women’s fashion and the ongoing pressures of beauty standards, using exaggeration to question the expectations placed on the female body.
