PAPER DOLLS
Paper Dolls is a feminist body of work that examines representation of women within Western visual culture from the 1950s to the present. The series engages with traditions, societal expectations, and cultural norms that have historically shaped, idealised, and constrained female identity. Drawing on references that span beauty pageants, iconic and cult cinema, and popular imagery, the work interrogates how femininity has been constructed and performed.
By confronting these often-uncomfortable histories, Paper Dolls reclaims them—transforming sites of objectification into spaces of agency and self-definition. The series foregrounds themes of identity and individuality, autonomy, beauty on one’s own terms, joy, and lived experience. Ultimately, the work celebrates female subjectivity, complexity, and emancipation, delighting in a femininity that is not passive or decorative, but complex, evolving, and defiantly self-defined.
