Beauty is not an ideal or product; it is a question of who defines it, inviting a deeper reflection beyond commodification.

Beauty can act as a site of resistance and freedom, challenging traditional hierarchies related to race, gender, and class.
The value of beauty lies in its ability to disorient and expand perceptions, creating a space for discussions that defy the superficial.
