Qualeasha Wood

Qualeasha Wood is a contemporary artist known for her thought-provoking works that explore themes of beauty, identity, and self-representation in the digital age. Born in 1996, she grew up immersed in the internet and social media, which heavily influences her artistic practice. Wood's art often juxtaposes her own experiences as a queer Black woman with the pressures of online beauty standards, using mediums such as tapestry to comment on issues like Snapchat dysmorphia. Her participation in the Virtual Beauty exhibition at Somerset House showcases how digital influences reshape our understanding of beauty and self-worth.
