Sculpt

This series of images is based around women in today’s society. From a research of body image combined with my dissertation essay on the influence media has on women, I developed an interest in the cliché of a woman’s life. The ideal woman is to look in a particular way, had have a certain lifestyle, according to magazines that are based on stories of the lives of celebrates and public figures, that have been altered for us to be inspired by them. Because we don’t meet these criteria’s, we have a need to try and change ourselves to be like them.

My series of images is based on women I know, from single, divorced mothers, subjects of abuse, mothers from an extremely young age, women with a deceased family member or sick parent, real women with real problems, but do something about it and don’t let their life and priorities get in the way.
