There’s some sort of alternating synergy between the work or hobbies most people pursue – but a stark contrast is harder to find. It takes a different type of visual, perhaps that of a beautician who doubles as a competitive weightlifter.
Brittni Perry is a hairstylist and cosmetologist by trade and powerlifter by hobby. She lives in a world of seemingly polarizing forces: feminine vs masculine, beauty vs power, hard vs soft, smoothing vs building.
Yet sometimes, it is not her opposing actions that are asymmetrical, but aspects in each part of life that appear – at the surface – not to match. It takes digging a little deeper to piece the pictures together. See for yourself.
