Blade for Babes is a reflection on beauty and innocence. The project aims to question our vision of the feminine and the dictates that we impose on women and men in our modern Western society.

that are still difficult to question.
I would like to talk about the superficiality of certain injunctions that continue to fuel taboos, and the psychological discomfort that threatens every little girl and boy, every woman and every man, behind the violence that society imposes on us. The taboos that I myself have experienced and still live, which no longer make sense in our time, which hides a lot of discomfort and incomprehension among (young) people. Faced with our body, our "duties" as women and men, our physical and psychological pain in the face of this constant pressure. And it is this violence that I would like to reverse, by showing that resistance is possible, and that it is already coming to life. It is finally starting to come to life through feminist movements around the world, with strikes, demonstrations and other acts of force against our patriarchal society. I first questioned myself about certain everyday objects, which may seem trivial, but which basically have a symbolic charge that we no longer question. Whether it's the kitchen knife, through the gloss, to certain commercially gendered childish products. Each time in a so-called feminine aesthetic, soft and at the same time very commercial in order to divert the objects from their primary connotation and thus create uneasiness and reflection.
