Under Control

Through my work, I explore traits of perfectionism I see in my own life and my attempt to have control through my appearance. 

The impact that makeup has in my life inspired me to use it to depict my personal feelings of perfectionism. Even when my life is in chaos, I like to sit down and do my makeup. The process of doing my makeup is something I always have control over. I use the same products in the same way almost every time. I showcase some of this process through my performance piece, expressing the comfort I find in this process but ultimately revealing the paradox it creates in my life.
