Rachel Lee Hovnanian is a multidisciplinary artist who explores the complexities of modern feminism through the lens of our cultural obsession with beauty and narcissism. The three pieces elicit conversations around contemporary ideals of physical beauty and the effects it has on women. Hovnanian invites onlookers to dive deeper into the detrimental effects of beauty standards when interacting with Fun House Dressing Room. How women have been groomed to use feminine beauty to gain power while gazing at Body Armor, and how women suffer every bathing suit season with white miracle suit before setting unrealistic standards for themselves. The pieces from Power & Beauty showcase the intricate complexities of modern feminism and how we can combat those inner and outer critics.

Among the notable attendees at the Ritz-Carlton, SoBe event were Karolina Kurkova, model; Iván Duque Márquez, former president of Colombia (2018-2022); Kelly Blanco, TV Personality and Influencer; Guerdy Abraira, Founder and Lead Event Stylist, Guerdy Design; Divya Gugani, Founder of Wander Beauty; Maria Buccellati, CEO of Faith Connection; Diana Lowenstein; Owner Diana Lowenstein Gallery; Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos, The Ritz-Carlton, South Beach owner and President and COO of Flag Luxury
