PLASTIC BEAUTY 

Perfect bodies. Flawless skin. Perhaps a little too perfect to be real.

What are you really looking at?

Beauty? Desire? Perfection? A woman?

Or simply plastic?

They never age.

Their skin has no scars, no wrinkles, no imperfections.

Their bodies are designed to attract our eyes — perfect, polished, perhaps even a little too perfect.

But what are we really attracted to?

The body itself, or the clothes, the objects and the desires it was created to sell?

But there's more than plastic.

Real faces. Distant places. Different stories.
