Bulimia

The artist depicts four Caucasian women venting their psychological distress. She symbolizes each of the main causes of eating disorders: genetics, social pressure, trauma, and the beauty ideal (amplified by social media). Western beauty standards are symbolized by using hair to veil their faces, illustrating the parallel between bulimia sufferers, primarily women, and their loss of identity in the face of societal expectations. The artist's own hair is incorporated into the painting.
