A WOMAN

Dear Women,

The Universe has painted you with such inspiration
as a completion
to the circle of life.

How grand and majestic
is your presence
in the scheme of consciousness.

Without your contribution, the world would cease to exist.

Woman in all of her nature are already whole. But as ideologies such as patriarchy, sexism, misogyny, continue to prevail and ingrain itself as part of our societal conditioning, woman are commonly found, unwillingly, in positions of discrimination and prejudice. Widespread in areas of workplace, cultural traditions, media, and the internet, woman find themselves subjugated to criticism and judgement going as far as pinning it against each other. Our minds through conditioning, has been subjected to point out attributes of woman that don’t fit society’s notion of beauty. More often than not, it almost seems as if woman cannot get away without ever being good enough.

“A Woman” is a series of work portrayed to celebrate woman in all of her forms regardless how that form manifests. It wishes to diminish the notion of an “acceptable woman“ which is unrealistic, stunting, and unsubstantial to the process of development. Society continues to put woman in gender role boxes nonetheless, every phase of growth is vital in each of our own evolution and serves a purpose for who we are becoming. “A Woman” hopes to set an introspective journey for the audience to reflect and maybe find the similarities within them and the subject they are judging. In addition, “A Woman” also aims to remind people to be forgiving and respectful of women’s journeys, while diverting the attention back to ourselves to help create a safe and loving environment for mankind.
