Capture

For this illustration I wanted to work on the idea of trying to capture youth and the lengths that some people with go to getting a certain "look". The image turned quite sinister when I started to think about different traps that are used and one of the most horrendous is the jaw or leg trap. I decided to use this in the work because of the brutal nature of plastic surgery, one of the methods that is used by people trying to re-capture their youth, butchering their natural features in the process.
