XS is meant for the word "Excess" meaning over-load...
LET ME EXPLAIN:
THE NAME: I chose XS is an abbreviation or shortened version of the word Excess which means MORE THAN NECESSARY. too much. overload. I chose that because of how the Media, TV, Music, Celebs, etc... are constantly thrown to your face, more than you want to. More than necessary.
THE SUB-HEAD: "Inner Beauty is Overrated"... it sounds odd and ironic, I know. Isn't it supposed to be that inner beauty is what matters the most? YES, true to certain extend... and then reality comes in. People tells you so much that it starts to get annoying and becomes almost a paradox or satire because it's not the whole truth. We live in a day and age where Information is presented to us with dripping allure, so you just have to follow your heart and instincts, don't get caught up.
...and the painful truth is, people do judge you by your appearance and looks. So it's NOT always inner beauty, they don't see that when I look at you!
Why did I poked out the eyes of those faces? because I want the viewer to have that uncomfortable feeling when looking at it... shows that, the truth is hard to deal with, and it can be uncomfortable like that.
