Project 5

For my self portrait I wanted to portray societies standards for beauty.  When I think of myself and how I look I'm not satisfied, as most other people feel as well.  I think that as a society, we have standards for beauty that are unattainable for average people and celebrities like the ones I used in this gif embody those standards.  Mostly girls look at these celebrities and feel insecure and yearn to look like them.  I used a photo of myself to show that I feel that way.  By putting the celebrities faces on mine, it shows that I wish my face looked like theirs and that I cover myself because of that insecurity.  But not only does this gif represent how I feel, I think it can describe how a lot of pre-teen to young adult women feel.  I got my inspiration for this project from this photo I saw on the internet:
