These last images capture the essence of self destruction. The first photo demonstrates a common theme in todays youth (girls and boys included). Many kids feel the need to have the perfect body to be accepted and in order to do so people turn to eating disorders. The other image focuses on the same concept of finding perfection, however, it deals with the matter of covering up. Not meaning covering ones body in distracting clothing but masking ones own face. Many young teenage girls feel if they are to be considered "pretty" by their peers, they must conceal their true face and cover it with makeup. The fact that todays society has taught girls they must become a "perfect" image in order to not be judged by their peers, is a fact that I find quite disturbing. These photos cover the whole ugly truth of how media today has taught children to have a self destructive mindset, or just the mindset of not being good enough. I hope you enjoy.
