Sophie Coe

Best in Show

Beauty is sold as empowerment, but commodifying the female body enforces social control, limiting agency and self-actualisation. Best in Show demonstrates how beauty operates as both a farce and a site of inquiry, revealing the emotional, cognitive, and social costs of aesthetic ideals. I urge viewers to consider whose standards they perform and how reclaiming attention from beauty culture can foster agency, change, and self-determined goals

My current practice explores how the commodification of the female body functions as a system of social control. Through this research, I have established an ongoing inquiry into the tension between surface aesthetics and the internal pressures that influence women’s lives, grounding my practice in feminist analysis and reflective studio work.
