The reason I choose this photograph is because it looked intriguing to me. Once I read about the meaning behind this photograph made it more interesting and relatable. The artist mentioned that she made this photograph to capture the many ways humans impose and reflect style and styles in the world around us. This reminded me of how there are some women who try and attempt to get the body image of others in what they see in the media or in this case a Barbie. For instance, a family member of mine was once obsessed with the image of wanting to change her looks to match what she saw in the internet that ended up messing with her mind. This affected her in being unhealthy in just trying to meet the medias expectations, which us humans should not have to compare ourselves in order to fit in. We are all individually unique.
