This Woman Used Glitter to turn Stretch Marks into Art
Jun 13, 2019
Instagram artist Sara Shakeel has become famous for her outstanding images, where she combines different photos together to create beautiful alternate realities. But recently, she used her artistic skills to transform stretch marks in something beautiful through a powerful series that she posted on Instagram. Check out the pictures below:
The dentist-turned-artist added images of gold glitter, a blue galaxy, and shiny crystal to photos of actual stretch marks. The results are fabulous.
The series got an incredible response from her followers because she took what society thinks as imperfections and turned them into a flawless art.
She learned how to use Photoshop and to overcome her depression and sadness she used her collages as a creative outlet.
She says: "I still remember that feeling of making those glitter stretch marks, and I was quite scared of uploading it," I am a Pakistani-based artist and talking about stretch marks or even making art out of it is not something you talk about on a regular basis."
The goal of these images was to really bring cellulite, stretch marks, and body empowerment into the highlight, and she hopes to add more to the series.
According to her stretch marks were something she could relate to on a very personal basis as sudden weight gain gave her some "stripes,".
