I can’t imagine how many people will ignore this image thinking it's some teen angst expression. No matter.
This image defines many women. Self-mutilation is a trait, a characteristic now. Self-mutilation, of the physical nature, words, or emotion. Many women talk themselves down because they don’t measure up to their standards. Like fat matters. Their body fat decides who dates them, who fucks them, who hires them.
This encompasses it all in a way. This is one way I chose to illustrate this. The obvious fat on the girl demonstrates her image; the stretch marks are the flaws. The cut is the pain.
This is the American woman.
This defines me, too.
Technical: plastic wound. Natural light.
PS: grain. Blended the plastic wound lines into surrounding skin. Watermark. Border.

on the technical/mechanical side...the cut doesn't seem that realistic, could be something like a sharpie mark...could be something that may not be present but it's still there...
very well done

This is one of the most incredible shots I have ever had the joy of viewing. There is alot of depth and feeling within' this. Impossible to mistake for a "teen agnst no one understands me" type shot. This is beautiful.

A drop of blood for everytime you said you loved me...
this is amazing. i m tired of ppl submitting the same pictures of their perfect body, and receiving lots of favs. this shows something more natural...great emotion..i understand how that woman feels.
This makes me want to cry...it really does. It's so sad things have ended up like this.
Brilliant concept - as always. This one touches me, mostly because it applies to me (if I can be called a woman and not "an angsty teen" ) and you have put it across in such an original way.
Beautiful sweetie
Again, it's hard to disagree with you. That is the American woman.
... if our country would stop supersizing every damn thing, we might not be that way!
It's a wonderful picture, Anna.

Hello there! This news article is the result of a thumb share thread I posted few days ago on the dA forum along with pictures from my favorites. I hope you enjoy them.

Deep and dark is the nature of our souls, but light is the love that they exude.
