The SKIN project is a photographic exploration of the human body, focusing on physical imperfections that are often hidden or stigmatized,’ Bevilacqua explains. ‘My aim is to foster community resilience and drive social change by highlighting the beauty in what society often deems flawed. It’s about creating a dialogue around vulnerability and acceptance.”

SKIN is a photographic project which celebrates bodily imperfections and promotes self-acceptance and worth in an era of unrealistic beauty standards and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Working with Cairns residents as her subjects, SKIN reflects artist Cristina Bevilacqua’s commitment to using art as a catalyst for meaningful dialogue and societal transformation.

SKIN is supported by the Regional Arts Development Fund (RADF), a partnership between the Queensland Government and Cairns Shire Council.
