Deceptive perfection Yvonne Michiels portrays very fashion-conscious women who see the world with a confident eye. These women conform to the dominant ideal of beauty achievable through makeup, fashion, and plastic surgery. So they look perfect. But appearances can be deceiving. Perfect facades hide feelings of insecurity, despair and vulnerability. As Slavic fashion victims, these women suffer from the compulsion to strive for the ideal image - partly self-imposed. Beauty versus mortality The observer is directly touched by the strong emotional charge of the images. Vulnerability is a major theme for Yvonne, and is a recurring motif throughout her work.
