Breakthrough Contemporary Artists
My collage gives insight into the societal pressures to look a certain, and perfect, way as a woman in the digital age. I included a variety of images of women in portraits and several different mirrors. These symbolize how women have to be "picture-perfect" and how we always are looking into the mirror to ensure we look flawless.
In contrast, the piece could be interpreted as looking to many different women with diverse appearances and empty mirrors without expectations for a more positive outlook!
This assignment was very fun, as I liked putting together so many different gold clippings with elegant vibes. I also boiled down some pink flower petals to make a dye to paint the background.
I think boiling flower petals to make a dye is incredibly creative and adds a refined touch to your piece. Your piece emits emotions of elegance and refinement, which I associated with concepts of “back then”, in a historical-sense. I would love to have this as a wallpaper - great job!!!
