Jenna Compagnucci
Jenna Compagnucci’s Caged series showcases a type of dangerous surface beauty. Inspired by historic methods of torture and high fashion; the viewer is led to contemplate constriction, obstruction, self-restriction, and subtle violence. We tend to view beauty on a peaceful and docile preface, whereas some individuals weaponize this factor and profit from it. “Pain is beauty” and “beauty is pain” applies to this work on levels that reach psychology, physical well-being, and perception.
