ARTISTS NOTES:

She is young and from the outside, happy and beautiful but that is our view, from the outside. There is a very different picture in her mirror. At first there were small cracks in the veneer, easily dismissed, just teenager things perhaps.

We see what she could see, the voices of disapproval, self hatred, the…I’m fat, the drive to cut, to feel…still too fat, must burn more calories, then I’ll make it…I’ll be perfect.

We watched her sinking, and fighting to stay below the surface then fighting to take a breath, maybe this was not the end of her story.

This is her Mirror.
