Rosacea

  • SHENGDI CUI

Rosacea is an incurable skin condition that has led many people to feel insecure with and within their own skin. April has been designated as Rosacea Awareness Month, so we've decided to share our project Rosacea Revelry with you to demonstrate how rosacea does not detract from beauty but rather enhances it. We've selected a model with rosacea and utilized various creative modalities to reinterpret the symptoms of the rose-colored skin condition. To reflect is to transcend, look deeply into, engage, and disengage. Reflections embody not only our self-perception but also our perception of others and the world, intertwining our essence with the fabric of existence. Mirrors serve as spaces for contemplation but also a place to reimagine and redefine. Through mirrored reflections, we symbolized rosacea through refreshing perspectives inviting viewers to criticize their aesthetic judgments and engage with what it means to have “good skin”.
