It seems that every human being, including myself, has their own view of beauty. I ultimately determine the beauty I desire in the opposite sex, and I realise that this view of beauty is not entirely based on my own desires. It is shaped and structured by the beauty industry and the pornography mafia, who present an alluring illusion of beauty. Yes, I cannot deny that I like watching pornography and am addicted to the body types that are offered. There are many choices and many types, and I am guided by those choices and the number of views and recommendations offered. So, is that all I need? In fact, it is all just an illusion. Indeed, those standards promise visual pleasure and, of course, the comfort of continuing to see that beauty. but I am trapped in an illusion where those standards become the benchmark for beauty and aesthetics, so many women want to become what men's eyes desire, yes, of course, men who are shaped by social constructs and prolonged illusions. The consequences are tragic, of course, willing to maintain it all by any means necessary, refusing to age, and so on, As depicted in the film I recently watched, The Substance, it vividly portrays this horror in a tragic manner, wrapped in the theme of Body Horror where the body undergoes grotesque and terrifying transformations over time. The film made me reflect deeply on beauty, and as a man, I see no harm in discussing this from my perspective, for I too am a victim of those who profit from it.
This collage is intended for that purpose, a view where people desire beauty, buy it and use it, products and then the body itself becomes a product, it's truly tragic. As a human being, I forget what I'm actually looking for in beauty, whether it's satisfaction or just endless stupidity. I can't deny that women's bodies are beautiful, even to the women themselves.
This is actually an admission of what I have experienced and how I am led to continue seeing that beauty. I am addicted and I am damaging my brain with the images that are presented to me, even when I am not thinking about it, they appear instantly on my mobile phone or laptop screen. instantly, explicit advertisements and women in revealing clothing appear, and worse still, AI is now designed for that purpose, making reality nonexistent and human existence gradually replaced by lifeless visuals. Yes, I am truly troubled.
Okay, I created this collage entirely using Paint.net, taking images from internet and using a free font called Chomsky.
Here are the steps I took, which I turned into a GIF :
