- Title: "The Golden Cage"-Please Read
- Artist: Ragdoll Complex

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

Thank you to all who have commented! I appreciate all the feedback--good, bad, and in between. To know I created something that holds meaning to more than a few people is humbling.
To those who are interested in the book now, I encourage you to read it. Keep in mind, however, that the book is now rather 'dated'. It is rather stereotypical in it's 'profile' of Anorexia. (Control; wealthy, white girls; skeletal; etc.) It was ground-breaking, though, and much of it is still applicable. - Report As Spam

- It's very apropos to the description. It's hard because this becomes more than just an avatar entry - there are better avis this week by themselves which is what I look for; but not when you encompass the whole description and depth of meaning - in which case this is perfect. Best of luck. 5 from me.

- Nice concept, and I'm sure the book is excellent, but the avatar is 3 items and although I know what you were going for, I'm just not a fan of avatars that are just a topic a lot of people want to raise awareness for.
