This body of work explores how women in the 21st century continue to be exploited by the patriarchal society in which we live. I have aimed to not only show how women are still being subjugated and objectified but also how we are overcoming these inequities. I have featured women not just as eroticised images designed for the male gaze but as diverse, complex and powerful beings.
