Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow?

I submitted this work to Visaural but it didn't get selected. Another work, weaker in my opinion, will be in the show instead. This quad-collage piece pairs up with Amy Winehouse's version of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? and is about young women's self-image. Japanese girls start altering their bodies in high school, as soon as they are allowed to dye their hair. It goes from changing hair color to eye surgery to nose surgery, cheek bone surgery, breast surgery...an on and on. I don't think it's about looking more Western, or even about looking for love. It's about becoming an idol, a person of adulation, an Anime heroine brought to life. We'll see what they turn into once the bloom is off the rose.
