She Seems Fun subverts the classic “sex sells” trope through exaggerated, cropped images of women, confronting the male gaze and its fetishization of the female form. By blending kitsch materials like latch hook and playful titles, my work critiques the voyeuristic culture while reclaiming sexualization through absurdity.

Faces emerge from exaggerated bodies and clumsy watercolor swatches, with some images obscuring or cropping faces, while others return the gaze, suggesting a performative awareness of being watched. This series critiques the female experience, filtering photography’s consumptive qualities through the slower, more deliberate mediums of drawing and fiber art—an homage to femininity that resists instant gratification. The work satirizes the unrealistic messages women internalize while growing up, all through humor and exaggeration.
