Artist Rachel Lee Hovnanian's latest exhibition, "Power and Burden of Beauty," opens tomorrow at a pop-up Jason McCoy gallery here in NYC and examines the emphasis we place on striving for beauty and the damage we do to ourselves in trying to get there. One of the coolest pieces in the exhibit is the dressing room installation, pictured above, complete with an unflattering fun-house mirror, intentionally terrible lighting, and an audio component that spits out all of the little phrases we women tend to use to beat ourselves up when we step inside the dressing room: "You shouldn't have eaten those Cheetos," and "Do I need more Botox?" being two of my favorites.
