In her series “Disfiguration Portraits,” photographer Cyril Crepin captures the essence of beauty in faces altered by reconstructive surgery, challenging societal norms. Crepin believes our culture often rejects uniqueness, defining beauty narrowly. Through these portraits, she aims to change perceptions and showcase the beauty in ordinary faces. The subjects, who’ve undergone significant facial damage, struggle with societal judgment. Crepin emphasizes the impact of cultural standards, noting, “today’s culture considers ‘hyper lifted’ faces attractive, despite looking the same.” Many of the subjects desire anonymity due to societal reactions, hindering their social lives. Crepin shares a poignant encounter where a stranger suggested self-harm to a disfigured individual. Reflecting on the project, Crepin urges viewers to find beauty in these images, challenging preconceived notions of normalcy and prompting contemplation about our own fragility. Through her lens, Crepin encourages a shift in perspective on what is conventionally deemed beautiful.
