Is a mixed media work that combines two pieces “Broken” and “Baby Arms”. Photography presenting ceramic jewelry pieces is questioning gender roles and double standards in contemporary Western societies. What is masculine? What is feminine? What makes you a man? What makes you a woman? What will you wear to make you feel more like a man? What will you wear to make you feel more like a woman? What is the meaning of gender now? What describes you as a man? What describes you as a woman? How do You feel wearing red lipstick and presumably female jewelry as a man or a woman….? Is it really feminine jewelry, you wearing? What makes you be you? Have our gender roles switched already?
