So, I decided to create my own expressive piece in response
to the New Venus event I attended in Brixton.
My piece looks at the negative labels people put on women in
society, of which include adjectives such as; weak, manipulative and dumb. (far right face)
These negative labels trigger our insecurities – they are a blanket
of words blinding us from light: the goodness and positivity we all have.
I have juxtaposed these negative labels however, with the
positive attributes women have – independence, courage, beauty. (far left face)
Once you find the strength to rip away the whispers and the preconceptions
there is only one truth which remains.
To anyone who has ever felt not
good enough, not worth someone’s time, and is left wondering.. have I done
something wrong? What am I doing?!
The labels mean nothing because you are UNIQUE.
It’s about someone taking the time to get to know you. Not
the labels, not the whispers. YOU.
