Cover-up

I produced this piece during my first true exploration in my IB Art SL1 class of a single topic I am adamant about. Problems with body image, particularly in women, have been an interest of mine for years. Comparing yourself to others is inevitable, but when we start comparing ourselves to photoshopped images of women who have careers that rest on being beautiful, a real disservice to ourselves occurs. For this piece, I wanted to have a beautiful woman made out of makeup because that is what women need to remember: that pristine entity of beauty is not real.
