I'm not a doll - #anorexiafighter

Many girls would like to be like Barbie: to have her beauty and her sculpted physique. Barbie has always been a model to be imitated, it is the symbol of female emancipation. She has it all, she is a successful, established and a happy woman.

She is a model of what many would identify as perfection. This perfection, however, is almost impossible to be reached in real life. Not being able to achieve such high standards in the goals we set, can lead to frustration and psychological dynamics that are difficult to manage, and even to diseases such as eating disorders and, in particular, anorexia.

Through morphing (a digital technique that allows you to merge two images) and photoshop, are symbolized not only the physical changes within these girls but also the psychological ones. An increasingly thinner body is accompanied by an ever increasing loss of emotions. The heart becomes numb like if it were made of plastic, you don't feel you have a problem, you don't listen to your family.
