In Integrative Studio and Seminar 2, we chose our own themes to research and study. I chose modesty because I feel different in Parson’s and I wanted to remind myself why I love it. I researched how modesty changed using an example, the bathing suit. I took two modest dresses and put them over the background with a bare body, and changed them to look how they would if they were made today.
The two backgrounds and bodies. Both settings seem pretty odd with a naked body there.

These are the two bodies covered in the modest dresses. The dresses are painted over a thick layer of plastic and easily removable with the velcro on the corners.
