"This sequence of images is about manipulation. Lewis Carol manipulated the little girls he took nude photos of and created the story 'Alice In Wonderland' which reveals his desire to keep little girls youthful even when they had grown up. In a society obsessed with youth, woman (and girls) are subject to similar pressures from the media, resulting in self violation such as eating disorders and cosmetic surgery. "

"Using digital imagery I have attempted to deconstruct the artificial construction of patriarchal and glamorous ideals, and question why we are encouraged to attain them."
