I have been researching more this week and really looking at why I create this work. I think mostly I am very effected by what I see around me. I also watch a lot of documentaries in my spare time.
I am most interested in ones that discuss the issues on body deformities and women who have plastic surgery to ‘correct’ there bodies. I find this whole concept very fascinating, it is something as a young woman I have thought about. I like this idea of waking up and being corrected (whatever that may mean?) on the other hand it also makes me very angry when I hear people pleading poverty that their surgery have gone wrong and that they have been left botched up. I mean as a young woman we all like the thought of having the bits we don’t like about our self removed, on the other hand it is a totally different thing to actually go through this silly process. Also I want to know for what reason? Is it to boost self-confidence? Is it so others find you more attractive? Or is it just self-pity? I also find it very strange that people go through this process when other poor people have to live with body dysmorphia and they cannot ‘correct’ how they look. Just because you look a certain way does this make you a different kind of human? And does it really make them look any better? Personally I think this people look really scary and unlife like, this is not reality and not real life! It’s just bazar!
