This series of photographs by Giron Mathilde is similar to the work of Ryoko Suzuki, in that it deals with body image and the idea of the body being contorted. Areas of the body where there are natural folds, rolls and creases, which are often labelled as "ugly" and "undesirable", are presented in a way that shows that they are beautiful.
The linear simplicity and natural colours in the images make them very organic in appearance, and give an air of softness and gentleness. Unlike Ryoko Suzuki's "Bind" series, the photographer has used the body alone, rather than incorporating other materials, to enhance the natural feeling. Although not labelled as "feminist art", these images show the importance of positive body image and self-worth, a concept which is central to a lot of feminist works.
