An 8 part mixed media series exploring the theme of women believing they are the role they play in life – mum, wife, employee, friend, sister, neighbour, hermit etc and how they portray themselves to the world, everyday.
It’s difficult to be ‘you’ when so much is expected.
Sometimes we get lost in an ‘ideal’.

Be yourself, it’s ok :)

Tumbled gemstones on plastic bust.
