Is it Enough?

This picture represents most people’s weapon of choice: makeup. Makeup is the semi-invisible shield that creates a level of safety. It is used by some to cover up their insecurities and put on a mask of armor to confront the world. A face. There are many different reasons people wear makeup everyday, for example, insecurities. However, I focused on the way people hide their insecurities using it. I chose the title ”Is It Enough?” because this applies to me and to many others, you can feel like you are just your looks, and I wanted to depict that idea of self reflection and worth in my image. Some young people can try new things, like makeup. I wanted to show that through my work as one of the things that happen when a young person is finding themself. The deeper meaning to my photograph is that sometimes young or older people wearing makeup can feel little and not enough without it.

To me creativity is expressing myself or ideas through any kind of art. To elaborate, showing things from a new view point and giving something basic a new meaning is what it means to me. It's a way to communicate or send a message without talking about it.
