Landscaping Chaetophobia

At first Andrew Markham’s work seems to suggest that future bodies may lack individuality, but upon a second look at this image of himself without eyebrows, it is possible to have incredible unique looks. The complete removal of body hair may seem extreme since it falls outside our culture's aesthetic standards, but it does leave open questions about what is considered aesthetic, desirable or embarrassing.   Different standards are also applied to men and women. and those that flout them may experience real or perceived social acceptance problems.
