Modern Fossils' "Body Image 3" is an original, handmade plaster artwork created using both natural aggregate and man-made detritus found while cleaning up local waterway environments.

The pieces of broken mirror creating the woman's body evoke the concepts of both body image and self-reflection. Body image is something that women struggle with universally, often wrestling with the conflict between the images we see in the mirror and our ideals of what we think our bodies "should" look like. Coming to peace with our bodies often requires deep self-reflection.

These concepts are further magnified when the viewers see their own bodies / selves reflected in the figure of the woman. This can serve as an impetus for the viewers to reflect upon their own sense of body image. This in turn creates a deeper communion between the viewers and the artwork.
