Respect Is Beautiful

The International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals Foundation (iaedp) presents its Second Annual “Imagine Me Beyond What You See” Body Image Mannequin Art Competition. The competition was created to promote healthy awareness and acceptance of body images within the reality of a growing epidemic of eating disorders. The mannequins incorporate mixed media to help create a palette for artistic expression

The mannequins in the image above are “Erosion” and “Hear Me, Please” from last years competition. To see all the entries from last years competition, visit this site: http://www.iaedp.com/IMAGINE%20ME%202011.pdf.
