Women need to learn to love themselves. Media affects our views on beauty as a culture. I would like to show a woman with an eating disorder and her constant struggle to block out the images and pressure of perfection and focus on her own deep rooted insecurity.
I love the visual that you paired with this concept. It helps sell the idea in a powerful way. If you don't know someone with an eating disorder willing to be on camera (a very vulnerable position), you might think about putting together a documentary where you talk to women about their body image and if they feel represented in the media.
ReplyDeleteI really think this would be an interesting topic to do. One thing I have noticed though especially with the explosion of social media and selfies is that this concept of body image is also greatly impacting men as well. I actually wish I would have brainstormed this idea myself and done it from the male perspective. I don't know if guys are as likely to develop eating disorders, but there definitely is pressure for dietary supplements and to bulk up and get that chiseled look.
ReplyDeleteBryen that's funny that you mention that. I am actually researching that exact concept for another class. The muscular body image of young men.
