Global Concepts of Beauty


So I have not yet began my actual abroad journey. However, I'm still interested in exploring global issues. I found this project, Before & After-Esther Honig, which was started by a very brave journalist. She sent a raw photograph of herself around the world so it could be photoshopped by various editors. The results are fascinating. What I found to be especially intriguing is the photoshop work by an editor in Morocco, with the addition of a headscarf to her image. Will I be expected to wear a headscarf for my excursion there? I have never been exposed to a predominantly islamic culture. This impending experience is exciting, but I also find myself nervous to be in a place with many different cultural values. I can't wait to share my findings from Meknes.
