Plastic Bodies

Sheila Pree Bright a photographer created a series called "Plastic Bodies" in which she juxtaposed doll facial features with a real woman's. She says the idea behind this came from American concepts of the "perfect female body" that introduce trends that many spend hundreds of dollars to imitate and as a result the female body becomes a replica of a doll and the essence of natural beauty in popular American culture is replaced by a fantasy. She says, "The body of work addresses the loss of personal identity many women experience, specifically women of color."

I found her photos to be super creepy but the message behind "the perfect female body"  is really powerful.
