Underneath it all

This three-panel work presents a narrative through the perspective of a woman navigating nightlife culture. The imagery explores the contrast between the beauty, excitement, and freedom associated with going out and the ways women can become reduced to their bodies within those same environments. Floral imagery and feminine beauty create an inviting surface, while the underlying drama and sexualization introduce a sense of discomfort and emptiness. The work considers the distance between how a situation appears at first glance and what may actually be experienced within it, questioning how beauty and desire can become entangled with objectification and vulnerability.
