LIGHTNESS OF BEING 2014

Series of collage and ink on paper. The nudes are of a woman randomly taken from the internet, the cut out circles are from a vintage german newspaper Der Spiegel from 1950 all containing images of mens ties, usually without the head and most of them being prominent political figures at the time. The circles were strategically placed over the bodies. The patriarchy weighing down over the sturdy yet floating solidness of the female form.
