MAIDens, 2002-4

In the MAIDen series, the mannequins represent the duality between being a maiden, one who is respected and adored versus being a maid, one who is subservient to another. In our culture there is a conflict between the message sent to women and girls; on one hand, we try to empower them to be independent and confident, while on the other hand, various media portrays a very specific female personage that many cannot live up to, creating a feeling of inferiority and failure.
