"Vanity - A Celebration of Emaciation" c 2006
This particular piece holds a special place in my heart. It's my response to the tragic glorification of starvation in the media. The effect caused by the adoration of women who starve themselves to 15-20% under a healthy body weight creates a host of unrealistic body image expectations in the young women in our country.
It breaks my heart, and I am hoping that my daughters won't be touched by this.
A portion of the proceeds from this sale will go to an eating disorder foundation.
Thank you and good night.
