For many who do not fit the conventional standards of size, moving through daily life involves constant encounters with societal expectations. These can come in the form of media images, fashion trends, and even everyday interactions that favor or idealize a thinner body type. The pressure to conform can be intense and often painful.

  
In this challenging landscape, “Grace Under Pressure” symbolizes extraordinary strength and elegance. This grace is an active reclaiming of space and identity.

  

Grace Under Pressure 

A piece in my Broken series

  
I’m thinking about broken in both the physical and emotional sense. We all carry things on the surface—scars, weight, features we struggle with. And then there’s what can’t be seen—the emotional stuff: fear, trauma and shame. Society tells us to hide those things, to smooth them over. But AnyBody Sculpture is about doing the opposite. It’s about embracing imperfection and making it art.

  
What do you think? Can something broken still be beautiful?

A study in tension and form, Eleanorr twists with quiet power. Her weight shifts, yet she remains grounded—assertive in her stance, unapologetic in her flesh. The rough texture resists polish, honouring the body’s truth in gesture and mass.
