Perception of Beauty:A lady of Multiple limbs

“A prosthetic limb doesn’t represent the need to replace loss, any more… it can stand as a symbol that the wearer has the power to create whatever it is that they want to create in that space… so people that society once considered to be disabled, can now become the architects of their own identities and indeed continue to change those identities by designing their bodies from a place of empowerment.” ~ Aimee Mullins
Let me start with a few images.

This is Aimee giving a talk at TED.Indeed a very unique perspective on the idea of prosthetic limbs where form meets function and art meets utility .
