The Distorted Perception of Beauty


There has been substantial evidence that there is a formula for beauty. My dissertation explores the link between beauty and symmetry. It examines why we prefer things symmetrical, and the benefits of symmetry, specifically looking at the increased health benefits and the reproductive advantages of humans and animals. It also covers symmetry in nature, art and architecture, as well as looking at the advantages of symmetry in cosmetic surgery.

My dissertation is the starting point for the final project of my degree. If you would like to read more of my dissertation please click here.
