What do you think the underlined means? This is about the disabled celebrity Aimee Mullins. Did she try to find out mental or spiritual values of beauty other than physical one? Physical definition of "humannness" seems to mean we tend to define human beings mainly in the aspect of physical being. Does this "physical" mean "bodily" or "of material things related to physics"?
4p) British fashion designer Alexander McQueen and photographer Nick Knight wanted to bring new ideas of beauty by using people with disabilities as fashion models. They offered me my first fashion shoot. Three months later, I appeared in my first fashion show in London on a pair of handmade wooden legs. The legs are a work of art, with large flowers carved into them. People could see the prosthetic legs as something beautiful, not strange. In my next experience I had with artist Matthew Barney, I started to explore beyond the physical definition of "humanness" as the only concept of beauty. In his film I appeared in one scene with legs made of glass.
In his film I appeared in one scene with legs made of glass. Another character I played was a half woman, half-cheetah, in honor of my life as an athlete. The purpose of these legs is to challenge our old concepts of beauty. Yes, creativity matters. We are now living in an age that encourages creative changes.
