Bias
We are studying cultural and ethnic diversity in grad school. This picture started out as a self-portrait, but the blue face and pink hair made me think about diversity. I decided to turn it into a collage. However, I guess it is still a self portrait in that I am looking at myself.
Looking through popular magazines, I saw beauty represented as having a perfect smile, long eyelashes, high cheek bones, long neck, almond eyes, being skinny and being white. The glasses represent being blind to our own biases. It's time we took our blinders off. I am becoming aware of my white, middle class priviledge.
