Missing leg...

Missing Leg

Playing soccer he broke his leg at the age of 14.
That is how the cancer was discovered.
A pretty boy.
Good looking.
No matter with or without leg.
It did not change his beauty.
Most people are shocked seeing this ‘joking’
With a terrible thing.
But it is how it also survives the negatives.
It is also showing that the beauty-principles of the industries can
Be shown as a stupidity.
Beauty is what makes you you.
It is a missing leg yes, so what?
It is not missing fun in life anymore.
That is how we got to our second image.
Where the first was a part of the project: Heroes of the Hospital
The second and third are of the family shoot.
What I did was a stupid faces picture and showed everybody how they look like with one leg.
It is a family picture to have and cherish, for it show that we al are the same, no matter what we miss.
It doesn’t take away the pain, it doesn’t cover-up.
It just shows beauty in itself.
You are what you is.... to speak in Frank Zappa’s words.
