Horses Warped on an Altering Canvas

The complexity of the work evolves around the psychological tension that can build up within someone who has Body Dismorphic. The most classic behavior that reflects the essential nature of Body Dismorphic is mirror checking, the mirror can reflect the sufferer’s greatest hope (perfection) or their deepest fear (imperfection). Therefore, the mirror acts like a switch and ‘turns on’ their obsession, an obsession that is magnified by the minds eye. Recurrent thoughts will cause distress to the sufferer and will hinder their everyday function due to their preoccupation. Body Dismorphic causes an inaccurate view of reality, with the ‘imperfection’ being non-existent or slight.
