This photo essay is about how people turned their prosthetic body parts into a work of art. Instead of making their prosthetics look like a normal arm or leg these people choose to embrace the fact they are an amputee and have fun with it. People tend to hide their imperfections instead of embracing them. From this photo essay I learned that these amputees do not want to be pitied without having to hide the fact that they are losing a limb.  A photo essay is a series of photos that tell a story with little text to help. The images and text relate because the text helps tell the story that the picture can not fully portray.
