Performance Art Assignment

For this assignment I wanted to do something a little personal. So I filmed myself getting ready in the morning, because no one ever really sees the process that some people go through in order to look "presentable". You always see people as they chose to present themselves to you. Unless you live with that person for an extended amount time you won't ever get to see them in their "natural" state.

For me, getting ready in the morning is a hassle. I hate that because I'm too insecure with my appearance I have to get up super early every morning just to change the way my hair looks and put on makeup. Everyone should feel confident enough in themselves so they don't have to change their appearance. The makeup companies are just using our insecurities to sell us products that we shouldn't have to use. We shouldn't have to alter our appearance in order to feel good about ourselves.

I put the definition of insecure at the beginning because it's a word that gets used a lot, everyone is insecure about something. And the two other quotes are from two songs that are about being insecure, and trying to accept who you are.

The whole point of my video is just to show people the daily "ritual" I perform in order to feel somewhat confident or satisfied.
