The Art of Plastic Surgery
2023-2024 | AP Art Sustained Investigation
The Art of Plastic Surgery explores the intersection of visual art and medicine through the technical and creative parallels between artistic practices and surgical procedures. Inspired by my passion for both fields, I investigated plastic surgery as an art form, highlighting the precision, anatomical understanding, and aesthetic judgment shared by artists and surgeons. Each piece connects a specific procedure to a visual art technique, combining medical research with artistic experimentation. Through realism, anatomical imagery, varied textures, and deliberate composition, I sought to portray these procedures in an approachable, optimistic light, challenging their stigma while celebrating the artistry inherent in medicine.
