My sculpture focused on identity, specifically my identity as a woman. I wanted to show how societal beauty standards affect women. The hat has fashion ads pasted to it to represent how women are expected to always present themselves in a polished manner. The flower on top of the hat is made out of sewing patterns to represent the same concept. The woman looks beautiful and presentable, but every time she looks in the mirror, she will see the fashion ads reflected back at her, and the beauty standards they represent.

To make my bust, I used clay, glue, fashion ads, and sewing patterns.
