Abstract
My work stems from my own neuroses, obsessions, and insecurities, which reflect the stark and disturbing truths of who I am. The question does not lie in what I see in the mirror, but rather in what society dictates should be there. Using animals to illustrate these echoes, I attempt to rattle the foundations of the normative. The animals become a personification of my confrontations with " girl world policing." Commenting on the impacts of these experiences and their effects on my past, current, and future relationships, I hope to alleviate the internal struggle of finding myself. | 40 pages
