I tried to incorporate the idea of body parts for sale and display them on shelves to mimic a shop like feel, then i looked at adding elements which suggested a stage like puppet show to represent the fact that the body parts are so easily swapped and changed due to the demand for 'perfection' which defined by the media.
As much as i liked this image to an extent i wanted the suggestion of being able to purchase designer body parts to be more simplistic, as to reinforce just how easy it is to change your physical appearance today.
From creating this image i realised i would have to decide between the puppet like elements and the idea of making the body parts everyday objects in order to simplify and strengthen the main message of the work.
I want to try and create a more dynamic view with a perspective and make an illusion that is convincing enough upon first glance yet not so convincing that it is difficult to establish that it is a digital composite.
I am going to use stock imagery and combine empty shelving where i will place the body parts with a backdrop of a boutique clothing store to enhance the suggestion that you can purchase, say for example a new pair of boobs just as easily as you could purchase a new outfit.
From doing all the experimentation i will remember to be conscious of important elements when selecting the images i use.
The body parts will be cut from photographs of celebrities as with many of the objects in the above example.
I don't think i need as many objects as i have on this example simply as i don't want to clutter the image too much.
Often real boutiques have a clinical, open layout - this is an important element that i will have to consider when creating the composite.
