This is our show image for "ESUM" which I created by taking Picasso's "Woman Dressing Her Hair" (1940) and juxtaposing iconic women "muses'" body parts on the original image. This image was created in order to show how the amplification of objectification through the fragmentation of the female form accentuates both the grotesque aspects of and the absurdity of society's obsession with idealization of our parts rather than woman as a whole. We are deconstructing the muse, and in doing so, asking the question - where does inspiration really come from?
