:star::star::star-empty::star-empty::star-empty: Overall
:star::star::star-half::star-empty::star-empty: Vision
:star::star::star-half::star-empty::star-empty: Originality
:star::star::star-empty::star-empty::star-empty: Technique
:star::star-empty::star-empty::star-empty::star-empty: Impact

First off, I am going to explain my rating:
Vision: It seems like a take on an older painting.
Originality: Cutting and self-harm seems like a popular topic lately.
Technique: I don't know how you created the cuts, so I'll have to base it on the rest of the setup.
Impact: Didn't really phase me, as I've seen similar items already in the photography categories.

First off the backdrop\table:
It seems too orderly for someone with an artistic block. I mean, it looks like you grabbed an old pallet, let some paint dry and splattered some water on it.

The easel: Seems alright, a semi-decent painting of a building. Just seems too obvious, as if you wanted it to be noticed right away.

The water cup: Same as the pallet.

Now the arm: It seems a bit too busy. I mean, you're causing the viewer to see the jewelry, then the cuts and then back at the jewelry and nails... It's a vicious circle.

The cuts: They seem too planned...
Too many cuts, not enough blood and the color doesn't change. I mean, there should be some darker, some lighter...etc

All in all, I would say good attempt.
It gives the feeling of frustration.
