Torture of Adoration 
Digital Photography and Photoshop
9x11 inches



Inspiration
"Change the room from a cubicle in a beauty emporium to a prison cell. Keep the level of pain exactly the same, and it easily qualifies as torture" (Ackerman, A Natural History of The Senses, 103).

Artist Statement
Torture of Adoration takes a look at the length people go for beauty nowadays. Staged differently, common beauty items look like something straight from a torture scene in a horror film. But after all, beauty is pain.
