Elaboración de un tríptico pictórico como herramienta sensibilizadora sobre el manejo de la dismorfia corporal, basado en una experiencia autoetnográfica

Abstract

In our contemporary society, dominated by an extreme visual culture, individuals are subjected to unrealistic demands about their body image, commonly promoted by media and advertising. Although it may seem harmless, the normalization of these unreal standards has led many to develop conflicted relationships with their appearance, with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) being a prominent example. In this context, this artwork seeks to raise awareness and foster a dialogue with the viewer about this condition, its development, and its repercussions, through the use of autoethnography and the artistic treatment of the visual. Dysmorphosis is a pictorial triptych created in acrylic on canvas that recounts my personal experience with BDD, expressed through three key moments: the beginning, where the mind processes and internalizes judgments and stereotypes that begin to distort personal image; the struggle; an ongoing process where the mind and body battle; and finally, acceptance, a gradual but not definitive process of reconciliation with my body.
