Female Energy
2015 Darkroom print 8.5 x 10”
The idea of being a female in today’s society has a lot of different characteristics and aspects that disrupt and put down the majority of those identifying themselves as a femme body. The world and media around us are constantly influencing the femininity beheld by many. A majority of definitions presented to us are harmful and create unrealistic standards that do not have to be maintained in order to be in alignment with feminine characteristics. This project is juxtaposition between the medias representation of what it means to be a woman in terms of perfection. The ideals are symbolized by the images of makeup, models, hair products, and the collaged paper doll crafted from different model’s body parts. The background drawing of abstracted shapes symbolizes what personally feels like to have a girl-like energy
