SINGAPORE - Once an advocate, make-up artist Mary Victor, 24, has since distanced herself from the body positivity movement.
In 2019, when she was 22, she launched #thebodywithin on Instagram as a social media movement, kicking off with a conceptual photography series, where she wore a dress made of aluminium, symbolising a metallic shield.
