First off i have a lot of respcet for orlan and her work. In teh society we live in today it is imortant to most to folow teh standard of beauty that "they" tell us to follow. To show complet disreguard for societys stereotypes is honorable.
Orlan bean her sugical process as an already beautyful woman. With every surgery you were able to see little differnces btu teh most shocking was the choice of teh mona lisa's forehead. the exagerated look too teh beatuty out of orlan's face. BUt this puzzles me because so many are puzzled with teh mona lisa and find her oddly beautiful. her choice to pick her face from the timelessly famouse was risky and unique. her choice to stay awake during all her procedures shows her strength of character. the clothing the sugons wear is evenly rediculous.
I think in our society it is important to break down teh barriers of beauty and test the limits. Everyone looks different and not everyone can be a size 4, have perfect skin, and amazing hair. we are now left to determine our own definition of beauty. despite the generic definition of beauty society also accepts the rebelion against the norm. Orlan in simply a steping stone towards the rebelion.
