Proposal

In a reflection of the changing representations of female roles and form, I’ve chosen to centre my project around three distinct cultures; European/Renaissance, Japanese and American, highlighting these transformations while depicting the inherent struggles associated with being a women during these societies. By using non-conventional materials to make an assortment of lingerie, each garment will work to allow an alternative insight into an aspect of the culture. This body of work will then be photographed in a studio, using facial expression, body language and angle of the shot, juxtaposing two opposing frames to highlight the ambiguous nature surrounding the representation of women in the media and various communities.
