At first glance this sculpture appears to be a decorative object – an object to be admired. From this perspective, the viewer observes the piece the same way countless teenage girls want to be perceived. Because of society’s view on what is to be admired, many girls try to transform their bodies into the ideal appearance. However, when the golden lid is removed, the viewer is presented a grotesque cluster of bones and bodily organs.  The viewer is now faced with the reality that society’s view has damaged many a girl’s physical as well as psychological well being all in the pursuit of what is to be admired.
