{"product_id":"keira-maiden-beautiful-body-15","title":"Keira Maiden, Beautiful Body #15","description":"\u003cp\u003eKeira is a Richmond, Virginia–based ceramic, mixed media, and watercolor\u003cbr\u003eartist whose work is inspired by a life of scientific inquiry, global travel, and\u003cbr\u003ecultural exploration. Raised between Italy and the U.S., she brings a unique\u003cbr\u003eperspective shaped by diverse landscapes and traditions. Before pursuing\u003cbr\u003eart full time, she spent 16 years as a molecular biologist working in HIV\u003cbr\u003eresearch and 14 years in functional medicine. A competitive swimmer,\u003cbr\u003elifelong musician, and avid traveler who has visited more than 60 countries\u003cbr\u003eacross six continents, Keira draws on these experiences to create work that\u003cbr\u003ecelebrates connection, curiosity, and the beauty of discovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeautiful Bodies is a series that confronts society’s narrow and often\u003cbr\u003eunattainable standards of female beauty. By highlighting features that are\u003cbr\u003efrequently criticized, hidden, or deemed “imperfect”— different body sizes,\u003cbr\u003ebreast sizes, asymmetry, scars, and other natural characteristics —the\u003cbr\u003ework challenges the cultural pressures that teach women to view\u003cbr\u003ethemselves through a lens of judgment. Instead, viewers are invited to\u003cbr\u003eembrace the beauty in all bodies. Beautiful Bodies rejects the idea that\u003cbr\u003ebeauty exists only within a prescribed ideal and instead celebrates the\u003cbr\u003eauthenticity, individuality, and inherent worth of every body.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keira Maiden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48210579718382,"sku":null,"price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/8845\/7198\/files\/17_5cf6e088-de74-48b6-b904-32e49e479169.jpg?v=1782584413","url":"https:\/\/almasrva.com\/products\/keira-maiden-beautiful-body-15","provider":"Alma's Gallery \u0026 Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
