“The Female Canvas” is a project about tattooed women who aims to showcase their struggles and individuality through body art. The project is a series of paintings of different women with their respective tattoos that represents the struggle they went through. Each of the women portrays different characters with stories which they aim to tell through their tattoos.
The project is a celebration of individuality, freedom of expression, and feminism. The theme of the whole project is floral to symbolize feminism and to represent the delicate beauty of the art of tattooing.
