Below is a compilation of my artwork that could be deemed "provocative."
Their intention is to prompt viewers to ponder, challenge, and reflect.
Making women’s go-to items tough as nails.
Candor
1 in 4 women will experience sexual assault. 99% of perpetrators are male.
As a woman, I'm intimately familiar with the precautions necessary when enjoying a night out: covering my drink, watching it being made, and sticking close to friends. These precautions are normalized in party culture; it is our job to “stay safe”. In my piece "Candor," I challenge the notion of “safe drinking,” questioning why women are burdened with “being careful” and why our concerns are often dismissed. The two anonymous women are pouring concrete into their red solo cups at a party. This symbolizes the futility of seeking safety in drinking environments that is overshadowed by the looming threat of violence.
