Beauty of the Burn is a photography series that explores the reality for women in the gym, a space often dominated by men, where safety and comfort aren’t always guaranteed. The project uses powerful imagery to show the strength of women who overcome obstacles, take back their presence, and succeed. Resilience and an unshakeable dedication to mental and physical power are all captured in each picture. This series is both a celebration and a statement, shedding light on the barriers women face while amplifying their right to excel in every corner of the gym.
