This project is an ode to women. It pushes us to embrace the beautiful diversity of women’s bodies through drawings of breasts in all shapes, colours and sizes. The prevailing beauty ideal is slim and symmetrical, and under the pressure of social media, girls find it very important to look ‘perfect’, yet we miss an openness about the change from child to woman and the uncertainties that come with it. Aina interviews women of different ages, ethnicities and shapes, after  herself having had a breast reduction. Every woman has a special story to tell, and by visualising and sharing these, she hopes to explore sensitive themes such as inequality and sexism, as well as critiquing prevailing beauty ideals.

You can share your story, the more stories we share the better. Send your personal story to info@ainaseerden.com with a picture of your breasts without your face so I can make a personal portrait.
