We live in a male dominated society where perfection is measured by people’s ability to conform, causing individuals to lose their individuality. The resulting bias — towards both yourself and others — makes it near impossible to see the world objectively. The Virtruvians is a study to learn more about myself, objectively, anatomically. To do this, I overlayed my body on top of a proportionally correct recreation of Da Vinci’s Virtruvian Man to highlight my disproportion to both the male figure and societies idyllic proportions.
