A malaise of shapes
Shame is a soul-eating emotion.
The ‘Red Book’ or Liber Novus, Carl Jung, possibly between 1915 and 1930
‘When I went into the fashion industry, I was told I was gigantic, and that my body was letting my face down. I started to resent my body – it was like my head and my body were two separate entities and they were at war with each other. And I met people who were doing insane things to keep looking the way they did, but over time I came to realise that this is what you had to do to be as thin as they are. At first it was an eating disorder I pieced together by copying the people around me. Over time it became a way to punish myself for what was going on in my head. And that’s when I really got myself into trouble – it was more like self-harm. At one point I had a hole in the roof of my mouth that had been eroded by vomiting. I was in hospital twice – once because I was so dehydrated and once because there was a tear in my oesophagus.’
Anonymous interviewee ‘B’
