Cherry Skulls-La Dolce Vita by CCREATT X GBDAY

In this artwork, a woman in Anatolia takes a sele in a traditional mirror known as the "dowry mirror" a mirror that used to be part of a bride's dowry in Anatolian culture. I chose this object to depict the reection of the woman through the lens of traditions and a patriarchal perspective. The phone in the woman's hand signies technology and our present- day world. While taking a sele, her hair transforms into silhouettes of oppressive male gures, whispering loudly into her ears. These whispers symbolize the gender and societal pressures that women face in the modern world.
