Futakuchi Onna -二口女-

A young woman, suffering from anorexia. Her body slowly dying decided that it was enough and created an other mouth at the back of her head, using her hair to feed it. Which caused a lot of pain either physical and psychological. The young woman too scared to eat again, tries to stop her body by sewing and closing this new mouth with a red string. This way, she lives in a constant fight between what her body needs, her fears and pain.
This Illustration was imaginated for a projection in a museum twice as big as a human, in a very dark room.
I decided to make a bit more contemporary version of this yokai based on a huge problem of our society: the self-love and the suffering from anorexia.
