ERRATIC

As seen in Issue 9 of CVLTARTES Magazine.

ERRATIC is an examination of purity, modesty, and the sexualization of women. Three women, two dressed with handcrafted bunny masks, dance against a brick wall. They are dressed in white with high collars, lace, and ruffles – all elements of Edwardian style. In a moment where conservatism is on the rise and ‘purity culture’ is returning to every-day fashion, I explore how women support one another to express  personal identity through style while still responding to society's hypocrisy around virginity and sex appeal. The layering of two images is intended to reflect the dynamic struggle to fit women into restrictive specific boxes laid out by society. The bunny masks hide the models faces, silently acquiescing to the subjectification in the fashion industry. They showcase how oversexualised innocence has become. The girl in the center stares straight at the viewer, inviting them to question their personal involvement in upholding the patriarchy.
