Obsession With Beauty: I Illustrate The Consequences Of Our Mania

I made this set of artwork combining illustration and photography to enlighten the consequences of the obsession with beauty.

It took me four months between investigation, illustration and photo shoot to complete a total of twenty pieces. At the end I made an exhibition. This are my favorite seven.

Anorexia

Over-exercise

Lifting

Corset

Such a tiny percent of the population in the west are indeed annorexic or over exericsing, and while this can be damaging, what about most our population being over weight, we are we not making art about this non stop, the real issue! I think we should tackle the large issue that most of us suffer from rather than distracting our self with how bad anorexia is.

I is so sad that this is how people think they have to look. If your Boyfriend, girlfriend etc doesn't accept you for the way you are then aren't the one for you.

It's that when they're used excessively and pulled too tight that organs can move around and cause harm to the body.

Jo Cabezas. Why did you select gorgeous young skinny models with flawless skin to make points about how we are all supposed to look? The hypocrisy is mind boggling.

Probably to show that people are perfect, but they still think that need to be skinnier or have more muscles

In this day & age people are becoming increasingly obsessed with 'the body beautiful', a lot of the time to their detriment. More exposure of this subject should be made the world over.
