     Art with the use of puzzle pieces or the characteristics of a puzzle does not do well when it comes to attracting art appreciators, unlike this one. The above art is an actual testimony that puzzle pieces are not that boring and are actually effective when it comes to soliciting the crowd's attention and curiosity as it tries to knock each and everyone's thoughts. This particular art also tells artists to be more creative in incorporating puzzle pieces in order to gain much more positive and overwhelming response from the public. Thus, the element of puzzle pieces is equivalent to the element of surprise and curiosity when incorporated in an art.

     The display of the model's character (through her simple yet astonishing facial expression) is, indeed, a realization that this art has a deep sense of conviction when it comes to illustrating and telling a story. Thus, adding this gorgeous model with her deteriorating face is an effective way to own its title - "Fake Beauty".

     As an overall assessment, "Fake Beauty" is a true and timeless masterpiece that reflects people's desire for greater yet artificial glory. Indeed, this art is both a reflection and a realization of a specific character that should be corrected. 

Beyond the Usual:

     "Fake Beauty" brings realization to everyone that fabricated beauty doesn't lasts for a lifetime. It is a realization that tells us to love that simple, yet authentic beauty that has been given to us by our creator - God. That simple beauty won't appear that simple as long as we learn to appreciate it by means of embracing it whole-heartedly (a process that tells about value and acceptance). Through this simple process, the simple beauty that we ought to know will suddenly have that glowing effect, which is capable of  revealing to us our true self. A self that talks about character and value. 

     As an end, beauty doesn't need to be measured outwardly because the true measure of beauty is what's within us. True beauty talks about the right amount of love, joy, and the overwhelming positive outlook in life. Therefore, we should not take too much time in developing our superficial identity by means of faking it. Why? Because our true identity is about to be revealed not by our external appearance, but by those hidden little gems that continues to glow within each and everyone of us.
