Natural Beauty

by Ling Ling Huang

At a prestigious music conservatory, a gifted pianist with a unique sound honed from her parents' teachings forges unexpectedly into New York City's high-end beauty scene. Immersed in a vanity-fueled culture, she succumbs to the allure of belonging and begins transforming herself with the sinister beauty products of her new employer, Holistik. But as her relationship with Holistik's alluring niece blossoms ambiguously, the pianist discovers the grotesque costs of perfection—a price paid not just with her body, but her very identity. 'Natural Beauty' is a sharp and darkly humorous exploration of the extremes of beauty ideals, questioning consumerism, self-worth, and the stark inequities of race and identity beneath society's polished facade.
