Description:
Inspired by 'The Golden Cage: The Enigma of Anorexia Nervosa':
"An image came to her, that she was like a sparrow in a golden cage. She enlarged on the image, that cages are made for big colorful birds who show off their plumage [...] She felt she was quite different, like a sparrow, inconspicuous and energetic, who wants to fly around and take off on its own, who is not made for a cage."
Keep comments civil-this is a political topic. Judge on the execution of a concept, not worth in gold. - Date: 11/08/2009

- I was taken aback by the..complexity? of the avatar. Simple, but quite Powerful. 5/5 for the most original that I've seen in a while.

- Briefly, the skeleton in the cage is to represent the one affected by Anorexia. I envision her desire is to be the sparrow, but she is kept in a cage. Rather than finding her wings to fly freely, she is trapped and thus her disease manifests itself. Eating disorders are complex. It's hard to capture all the causes in one idea. 'The Golden Cage' was ground breaking at the time and, while now dated, this is one sentiment that rings true with many sufferers.
