This photo inspired me because Ana Mendieta wanted to know how it felt to be a male. Ana glued her friend's beard onto her face. It’s interesting that she wanted to do something like that because it makes her think of life differently. I can also relate to this photo because it's a process of growing your facial hair. 9 times out of 10 the process is hard and it looks crazy but you will have to trust the process because eventually it will fill in.
I enjoyed reading the book by John Berger because in chapter 3 it was mostly about pictures and I really enjoyed how the author explained every picture. Every picture had a meaning behind it. After looking at some pictures I noticed some features in the picture that the author was talking about.
Quotes:
By selecting women of color I quote raising their visibility and inserting their presence into the convo.
John Berger:
“Those who are not judged beautiful are not beautiful”
“Women are depicted in a quite different may from men-not because the feminine is different from the masculine - but because the ideal spectator is always assumed to be male and the image of the women is designed to flatter him.”
