i can't help the way i feel

soooo here we go again.. macabre art on The Body, the strange object that we can not avoid having an experience of. i think the body is one of the more confusing objects there is, as it is both meat and self, and it is hard to have an objective view on it. especially on ones own. this is the work of john isaacs called "i can't help the way i feel". it is designed to show how an obese person might perceive themselves. it reminds me about understanding joshua by charlie white, where charlie white used a miserable looking puppet to portray how a person with a very low self esteem might view themselves.
