Posing Nude, Is it vulgar?
You might have read the latest row in Singapore over Steve Chia's almost-nude pics of himself and his maid. The situation looks outrageous enough for someone in a political career. But is it acceptable after all for a normal person in the society to celebrate his or her body this way?
As conservative as Indian culture might seem on the superficial front, it has some of the most forward-thinking concepts and ideologies concerning the human body and its acceptance. Such notions are explicitly evident in Indian art forms and literature. Be it consciously or sub-consciously, we have been exposed to these free expressions early in life. Figurines of man and woman are hand-crafted by skillful artisans in nude or semi-nude states. It is said that a true artist or enthusiast looks at such works of arts or their models as pure work of beauty by the greatest artist, the creator of the world, seeking to try their hands at reproducing it. Looking at such expressions, behind the curtains of embarrassment and vulgarity is so displaced and non-existent.
Just look at just one of the samples of the Indian paintings featured, like that of Lord Krishna teasing women by stealing
their clothes. And another Mogul, inspired painting of a woman. Her body is portrayed appreciatively in all divinity. So why is nudism something that is so offensive and obnoxious to the Asian society? Is it time society delved into our past and origins and mended our misconceptions?
Posing nude in order to stimulate carnal desires aside, there might be just other reasons why some people do this. Said, Rekha 31, "If you asked me if I will pose nude, when I was in my early 20s, I would have squirmed uncomfortably at the mere thought. But now as I grow older, maybe it seems okay for me to take some shots by a professional or a close friend to preserve a part of me in time. As I grow older, my physique changes and I want to look back, years from now, on how I looked. But of course it is personal and highly confidential. Not to be exhibited around freely."
"I still have not warmed up to the idea of posing nude for a sketch or photos. I find it very offensive and uncalled for as one's body is something that is sacred and private", said Shirley, 25, who is currently a student.
Whatever society might think, celebrating one's body is entirely personal and unique. What seems so right to one, seems so outrageous to another. But let us not judge one from the principles of our own. What do you think? Do share your thoughts with us.
