Reclaiming Her - Photoshoot by Esperanza Rosas

Esperanza Rosas is a Mexican photographer.


The Reclaiming, Her Project by artist and designer Carolina Pérez Moreno explores women’s complex relationships with body insecurities. Drawing from her own personal journey of body acceptance amid societal pressures, Carolina has created a collection of unique body jewelry that confronts and redefines conventional beauty standards. The pieces, crafted from soft, food-grade silicone and adorned with electroformed copper nodes, highlight the parts of the body women often feel compelled to hide, as well as those they celebrate. Each piece is a powerful symbol of female empowerment, encouraging women to reclaim and showcase the very features they’ve been conditioned to conceal. Rather than conforming to external standards, Reclaiming Her emphasizes the strength and autonomy in choosing how one presents herself to the world.

The project also includes a photographic archive of over 80 images featuring dozens of women participating in this transformative ritual. Through adorning and celebrating their perceived flaws, participants transform insecurities into beautiful compositions, fostering personal healing and sparking a collective reimagining of beauty. The Reclaiming Her Project challenges societal norms, inviting us to redefine what it means to embrace and own our bodies.
