Recently more than 2 million women and men, around the nation, marched standing up for human rights and representing the rights and voices of progressive people across the world. this was my inspriation for this assignment. I used different sets of eyes and color burned them over a old picture of a pin up girl. they eyes represent how women everywhere are taking a stand for themselves and humans in general. I used the phrase, eyes wide shut to symbolize how everyone thinks they know what they are talking about but in reality their eyes aren't open to the whole picture and they are mostly thinking of themselves. I incorporated the pin up girl because I wanted to symbolize that most men view women as just a pretty face, but there's a lot more to us then just that. I put the letters over her breast as a way to show how boobs are offensive, to some and not acceptable to show in todays society.
