"What do you think other women say about you behind your back?"

 

I asked this question to twenty anonymous women in the Georgetown community.

The answers they trusted me with were then brought to life on one another's  physical backs - each woman

bearing the confession of another - in order to bring the notion of "talking behind someone's back" to life.

 

Behind My Back explores the emotions of insecurity, jealousy, and paranoia that are all too often felt by the women

of Generation Y, who interact with highly competitive peers on a daily basis- especially on a college campus like Georgetown. This piece aims to bring awareness to the power of our words, and the insecurities they often promote in others.
