'' Nudity is for Art'' by Ugur Kayan

In the 1800s, during the reign of Queen Victoria, "nudity" could only be used in art. Then, in the early 19th century, Germany became the first global movement for acceptance of a natural lifestyle, as a push against the shame associated with nudity and opposing the idea that nudity is inherently sexual. Typically advocating non-sexual nudity, the Naturism movement spread rapidly in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, as well as the rest of Europe, in the 20th century. I wanted to be influenced by this historical moment and create such a collection. I want you to see nudity through my eyes in the 21st century. Enjoy the collection!
