Cheat Day
Since I was little, I have always been ashamed about the weight that I carry. I know that it is nothing to be ashamed of, but the pages of comments that have been made about my appearance have halted any progress on my self confidence. It got to the point that I would no longer eat, and I feared eating in front of others. I eat plenty now, but the fear of others watching me eat, especially if I'm the only one doing so, still has a grasp on me. I want so badly to heal my relationship with food, but I need a role model to follow.
This sculpture represents the joy of eating good food, and the ability to do so without worrying about the gaze of others. This sculpture was able to sit through an entire exhibition of public eyes watching, and that inspires me so much!
