addition,

after reading the article, have an additional concept/ idea to add to my representations.

starvation!

"beauty is starvation"

to be represented using bones and the skeleton.

possible route - could try combining photography with black and white illustration? i have never really experimented with black and white illustration, could be an interesting way to represent metaphors?

i like the delicate marcabre feel to the illustration above, definitely something to look at further?
