Description This is for =psivamp 's SurReal Awareness Contest.

My piece is about anorexia (I hope that is quite obvious!). This is a subject that is very close to me (not that I have ever been anorexic), but many of the people I know have suffered eating disorders. And those disorders suck. So many symptoms...most of them ending up in death. So people, please, dont become anorexic or bulimic.

This was a cool piece to create. I had a lot of trouble burning the shadows for the rubs and stuff, but thanks to =DoNotAttempt , who showed me some tricks, I finally got it.

All of the stock is mine . I hope you like it..or atleast the message.

Oh, and the mirror is shrouded, or unclear. This is a representation of not knowing who one is, or self destruction. Take it in any way you wish, just know that the pose, mirror, and thing inside the mirror all have a concept.

This is a great representation of eating disorders like anorexia and bulemia. The warped body, the warped sense of self, and all the while still reaching for affirmation.
Eating disorders are a serious issue that never quite gets properly addressed. Schools will put kids on suicide watch, but a person can drop down to nothingness without anyone blinking an eye. It's an awful epidemic... and I think I will call it an epidemic.

Great message, and great job communicating it. What an amazing piece.
