This image inspires me because it covers a topic that I have been interested in for a while and has been the subject of a lot of my artwork. I believe this image is supposed to portray body image. I have always been against the media objectifying the human body and putting such a strong emphasis on looking a certain way to be considered beautiful. Katrin Eismann's piece is a manipulated Victoria's Secret spread. Victoria's Secret is widely known for its super models who all have "perfect" bodies. I believe Eismann used this piece to demonstrate her views on how women are portrayed in the media. The way she made the spread look brown and dark seems to show her distaste and disgust with how Victoria's Secret uses women.
