Concentration: In-Progress

            “Society Demands Perfection, But We Demand Acceptance Of Our Own Imperfect Beauty." The theme for my concentration is women in society, and the battle between self-acceptance and the constant degradation of society towards women. For this series, I used a variety of medias including photography, Photoshop, and pencil. I chose this series theme because I have been raised my entire life to believe in myself, to be confident no matter what, and not to let society bring me down. I’m very passionate on the issue of the media, the workplace, and society in general constantly teaching girls that they are not good enough, or that men are in any way better than them. Through this series, I try to bring to a head the idea that this simply isn’t true. No matter what we might be told, we don’t need the reinforcement of magazines, celebrities, or what-have-you to reinforce our own self-worth.This series explores the idea of a girl coming into her own against the role society places her in. The main idea behind my inspiration is inner beauty.
