Editing | Self-Editing
Self-editing gives us a sense of control and the hope that beauty can steer the outcomes of the inevitable.
In Brazil, where adaptation is a form of intelligence, beauty is both a currency and a democratic tool of control.
Self-editing has become ritualistic: working out, straightening hair, getting Botox, or moving through a series of more expensive procedures.
It usually seeks impossible ideals of perfection and eternal youth.
Many do it for themselves — and they should.
Yet I ask:
Why stick to binary standards?
Two matching breasts and two nipples?
What about other shapes and forms?
Wouldn’t that bring more power, beauty, and individuality?
Why are we not challenging the aesthetics of beauty?
Are we conforming or self-expressing?
In an era of body positivity, the aesthetic goals remain conservative. The technologies evolve, but the forms we chase rarely do.
