Burden
Burden comments upon the toxic consumption of beauty in today’s western consumer society and how women feel in relation to their appearance. We are conditioned to buy into beauty ideals through advertising and mass media, to make us seem more valuable in the eyes of others. As women, we are led to feel inadequate, vulnerable and exposed without the adornment of cosmetics. Therefore by choosing to have the models completely free of makeup they are unable to hold the viewers’ gaze. This signifies the lack of self worth we feel in the eyes of others. Each image in the series reflects an emotion we have once experienced, or have been conditioned to feel due to society and its ideals. -Discomfort -Discouragement -Disappointment
