Latvia-born singer and model Viktoria Modesta released her first music video last week on Channel 4, in which she proudly struts a series of beautiful prosthetic legs.

According to her website, she was born with a dislocated left hip and leg. At age 20, after 15 ineffective surgeries in Latvia, she made the radical decision to move to London to undergo a below-the-knee amputation.

Modesta challenges our preconceptions of what a pop artist should be.

She’s not demanding sympathy. She’s commanding attention. It’s really a celebration of what makes her different.

More on the subject here.
