Art: Digital Gestural

Almost every woman I have ever met has a secret belief that she is just on the edge of madness, that there is some deep, crazy part within her, that she must be on guard constantly against ‘losing control' - of her temper, of her appetite, of her sexuality, of her feelings, of her ambition, her secret fantasies, of her mind

For my final project, I wanted to represent the internal struggles of women in society. During this process I researched different ways to see how chaotic emotions and growing pains can be visually portrayed. I also surveyed my peers and asked them if the weren't subjected to any judgement, how would they react to the toughest times in their life?

By using partially blind contours I captured the essence of their various choices and desires.
