Body Image was created to consider how adolescents might perceive their bodies. Throughout my work, I have explored the obsessions of young people informed by societal influence and how this impacts their perception of their physical selves. Social media trends in image modification means its audience tend to have a distorted view on body image standards which creates undue pressure to naturally resemble what is presented. I photographed sections of a body we are not likely to see when looking at the photographs published in these media channels to illustrate the frustrations and damage caused by such representations.
