The Obsession

Obsession: Is this really me? In a house made of mirrors you have to continuously face yourself by looking at you in order to get over your personal fears and self rejection. A mirror can distort the reality, scare you, increase hateful towards yourself, create doubts, sickness and paranoia. Here by using a female body I tried to represent this kind of feeling, rejection about reality. Using the concept of bulimia and anorexia I tried to represent the self acceptance and self rejection of the girl towards herself. Sometimes it seems she really hates herself, sometimes she likes herself but her body is full of the marks of her destruction and her obsession to try to accept herself trough self-destruction. In these masochist and sadist atmospheres she distorts the reality to commiserate or hate herself. Trying to push herself to the bottom with few moments where she's trying to recollect herself, almost trying to see trough the mirrors to catch the reality of herself. In order to do this she has to pass trough self-destruction but that's the price of obsessions: lose yourself or really pull yourself up by avoiding or not the modern neurosis about appearance (body, style, etc.) and the rat race to find a sort of "utility" in this modern world.
