Concentration Part 5 (Self-Harm)




Tolerance

For my Tolerance Piece, I chose the idea of perfection. It's something almost everyone strives to achieve and struggles with, because they're blind to their true potential. I chose a peacock feather because it's bright and beautiful, and for this piece, represents beauty. The girl I'm trying to portray in the photo attempts to cover her face with the feather to look beautiful, but in the process she's blocking her eye. This shows that by having this false idea of perfection (the feather) in our heads, we cannot see that we all are indeed beautiful, flaws and all.
