For this project I chose to do a broad theme on feminism. From policy and government issues, to everyday interactions with myself and others. The first image is a reflection on internalized male gaze, the bird lurking in the back is actually pressed against a mirror. It’s a commentary on how despite my own views on male gaze and feminism, I still hold myself to a standard of looks and behavior that fits the male gaze. The second is a broader issue on the Texas heartbeat bill, which was enacted by men we have known don’t understand human biology enough to be making laws on woman’s bodies. Roe vs. wade was the law that made abortion safe and legal for women. Bills like the Texas heartbeat bill are a direct violation of roe vs. wade. The last one is a joke on how women tend to fall under the job of educating men on women’s rights to autonomy and how we are in a patriarchal society, instead of men holding other men accountable or men trying to educate themselves.
