A clear statement for what you are looking at, is the truth behind what we know as an eating disorder, and the effects from that in which the media controls how much or should I say, ‘how little’, we put in our mouths.

What interested the artist most to look into this subject with great curiosity, was the way dieting and keeping trim is publicized so continuously in society today.

Young women in particular feel the need to maintain the ideal body image in order to be like famous celebrities by dieting or starving themselves.

Fashion Magazines reveal women with extremely skinny figures that young women desire to be like from a young age, when in fact these models are depriving themselves from the proper nutrition that the body needs.

Parents are believed to be the initial reason why their children choose to diet or stay slim. Children from as young as the age of ten are becoming obsessed with dieting or wishing they were thinner because they have a fear of becoming fat, even though they are the ideal body weight that they should be for there height.

Parents need to teach their children the value of healthy eating and not send the message that being thin is important.

The initial reaction that you receive from these images, are to shock viewers into the reality of food disorders, and the effects that it could be causing to someone they know. The artist’s intentions for this piece of work is for it to resemble that being super skinny is not a step towards being glamorous and attractive but a way of damaging you health.
