My curiosity is to unpack the modern societal definition of beauty and it's impact upon individuals; to fully understand it requires understanding where it came from. Enter, fashion history.
I am specifically interested in understanding how our definition and perception of beauty impact our reality, and ultimately, our mental health. I believe that education can shift our perspective, and when we shift our perspective, we can change our reality; we can change our life.
My reality when I was caught in the eating disorder was one that mirrored the court of Versailles; straining to fit and conforming to the whims of the monarchy of our time. I moved according to the direction of the trends and felt like an imposter waiting to be found out and exiled from court. This state of fear was homeostasis for me.
