In my project, I wanted to work with the themes of self expression, the media and plastic surgery.
“A Plastic World” to me, means that people can be plastic. We are fake people and we mould into the plastic person the world wants us to be. A lot of people feel pressured into looking perfect and will do anything, but once you apply the makeup and get that nose job you are still not good enough for the world. I want to show that there is a good and bad side to a plastic world. The side everyone wants you to see such as, flawless lip fillers or Botox or a breast implant that was very successful. But then there is a side that the world doesn’t want you to see. The illegal surgeries, botched surgery, injections that are harmful chemicals that leave people completely damaged.
Plastic surgery is self expression but I just want to show the dangers of a plastic world and how we feel we have to change ourselves to make the media happy.
