- "It proposes to each of us that we transform ourselves, or our lives, by buying something more."
- "Its promise is not of pleasure, but of happiness; happiness as judged from the outside by others."
- "In teaching us a new visual code, photographs alter and enlarge our notions of what is worth looking at and what we have a right to observe."
- "To photograph is to appropriate the thing photographed. It means putting oneself into a certain relation to the world that feels like knowledge -- and, therefore, like power."
In this picture, Kylie Jenner, a media star, is showing off a destructive way for females to perceive themselves. This image represents the toxic beauty standards that are sold through the media. It clouds the minds of people all over the world and shows them that they will never reach the standard level of what they call beauty. These quotes explain the society we live in today, how it was in the past, and how it will be in the future. We need to combat this way of thinking in order to allow future generations to love themselves.
