Pedestle
The ideals and beauty standards of the day serve to place pedestals under the few. These definitions of beauty change as frequently as the wind. As a non-binary person, I’ve spent much of my life conforming to the female ideal, and being raised high with praise when successful.
I starved myself and spent hours everyday in the gym and pool, not living, just struggling and trying to make myself fit. Being praised for living this way left no room in my life for failure, injury, or illness. I was all powerful until I fell.
Now I look at the others who've been raised to this ideal and feel dread. It's easy to look down from on high and judge.
24x18 on watercolour paper. Framing included in this price. Choose from black or white. The frames are inset by 1/4” and back matted. Please note that frames are ordered, allow 6 weeks for delivery.
