The very beginning

 It doesn’t matter whom these people are..

but to you it matters what they’re bodies look like 

these bags match emotions 

body types

you can guess whom they are if you’d like

but in the end, you’re the one to judge

what do you think about this one?

or this one?…

skinny right? of course you like these because these people are small

you’re judging body types and what they are dressed in

you’re judging and you’re dying to know whom these people are

Why? Because you actually care enough to.

“I completed this project for an art scholarship running through my town’s local photo association. The main idea of the contest was to express stereotyping in a way that could truly connect with the public. Having many friends beyond self consious of their weight and body image, I took this opportunity for myself to create a project using all examples of body types and comparing them to one another. I fully believe that people are judged far too much on their image and the beauty inside is what matters the most which is why I choose this project to express my feelings on the issue.” -Maddie Fritz
