"Transformations" Critique: Rebellion

rebellion.jpg

Here we see what seems to be a somewhat nice-looking girl, maybe a 7, rebelling against the standards put on women. By eating this greasy hotdog sandwich, she's feeding her insatiable hunger to rise up against male standards of beauty. She's willingly transforming from desirable to unattractive. It's ugly, yet compelling... It's tragic. It's beautiful (metaphorically).
