In Mammoplasty, even the body of Aphrodite—the enduring embodiment of idealized feminine beauty—is rendered insufficient by contemporary standards. Her breasts, once belonging to a body imagined as divine, are now treated as something to be evaluated, reshaped, and improved.

​

The work exposes the instability of the beauty ideal itself. When even the goddess of beauty requires correction, perfection ceases to be a destination and becomes a constantly shifting demand. The body is no longer simply seen; it is measured against an ideal designed to remain just beyond reach.
