Let Her Earn The Right to be Hit On...

Upon reflecting on 'The Bigger Splash' exhibition I began to realise that what I was interested in was not the differences between men and women, but rather their relationships with each other.
For example, why is it that our society has formed so that women who do not wear makeup in order to attract are strange and unusual (perhaps even lazy), yet men have no compulsion to do the same?
I decided to play with this question and take a series of photographs of my own face, starting bare with no makeup on going up layer by layer to fully made up. I wanted to question why it is that we feel like we have to better ourselves in order to be good enough.

I titled the work, "Let Her Earn The Right to be Hit On", a quotation from 'The Game'.
