Anorexia. What We Really See!

SLIDESHOW

We’ve talked about it before. Only we touched their side of the mirror. Now let’s show them only our side of the story, what they’re showing us. It may be helpful, one day. Maybe.

Besides being aesthetically pleasing, photography is also morally triggering, sometimes. Such is the case with Ivonne Thein’s work. She’s touching issues of great concern both public and personal and even though I believe this is just a minor (borderline meaningless) attention sign, I feel concerned and writing about it because I care. Because we all care at some point, somewhere. For us. For our friends, our family, our children. Let’s keep them safe and healthy!

Now getting back to Ivonne Thein – I came to know her through her Thirty-Two Kilos series. That’s what you’ll see below. (the story continues with more images right after the jump, click here for the gallery!)

In an ocean of digitally manipulated images and distorted perceptions, it’s hard to point the right direction, however, Ivonne Thein’s photography can prove a helpful perspective in showing where the extremes are. Of course her images have been altered as well, and there’s no shame about it: just as they were manipulated, such is the vision of those concerned. Altered. Deformed. Bad brain photoshopping. Don’t miss the Proforma series as well, I made it part of the gallery! Also, feel free to check out Ivonne Thein’s website for more examples of her work. (via)
