Part of a portfolio of four images, this was captured at the end of a fine-art portrait session with the model. “In this piece, I aimed to deconstruct the impact of societal beauty standards on an individual’s sense of self and identity,” Yavari explains. “I represented the use of makeup and fashion to conform to these standards with circles, symbolising the distorted and fabricated identity that is often presented to the public.”

‘Sonia Herstandez At Home In Havana’
“I walked past Sonia’s home in Havana, Cuba, and she was happy to let me come in and photograph her. I loved the old furniture and decorations in her home.”
