editorial equation.

i would like you to consider this image. To understnd from a female view point. To empathise. She, like most of us, strives for beauty, because society says we should be, we should be slim, yet curvy, sophisticated, lady like, feminine, beautiful. Women sacrifice so much, to fit into this sterotype, we use corsets, diets, makeup, hair dye, wax, facials pedicures. why? to fit into that sterotype, the one we all hate. it makes no sense, this illustration is intended to highlight that, women go through so much, and yet sum feel as though they cant indulge in a simple comfort like food, because beauty is a set rule. beauty requires discipline and sacrifice. Now to me that seems like antithisis how 2 complete opposites make one sad twisted truth.

In my head this image makes perfect sense and fits in the with brief of opposites, but im really finding it hard to explain, maybe that proves my design is weak?
