Most people are obsessed with being beautiful. Beauty pageants to me is like a circus that portray illusions of being happy is by putting on this false act that feeds on gratification.Perfection is a disease of a nation. Magazines, music & Hollywood is the driving catalyst that pushes some people to the edge by taking plastic surgery or botox shots just to display a picture to the public.Even though people try to fix something they can't see they believe that's true happiness but its the inner sanctum (soul) that needs the surgery.This is my representation of something beautiful, she is tattered, her body displays battle wounds due to excessive beautification & the acrylic paintings display her true sadness she hides from the public
