For this project I immediately knew I wanted to do something feminism related as soon as I saw the section posted. Political / feminist pieces that are trying to make a change are my favorite. I love the idea of being able to convey a message like that through a piece of art. 

When thinking of what message to focus on for this piece I was inspired by the recent Victoria Secret fashion show and how my backlash and complaints people had for the models that walked on the runway this year. I saw complaints about skin color, weight, overall looks, etc. I then thought about the constant push to look a certain way and to look "perfect".

With this in mind, my goal was to create the perfect women. I wanted to literally create a whole different person made up of different parts to touch on the fact that no one is truly perfect. In order to achieve this you would have to create it. I wanted it to have a retro almost surreal vibe and a collage look. I initially wanted it to look more uniform but I think the fact that it doesn't really look like an actual person fits with the message. 

I wanted to cut out pieces from magazines to have a more authentic look but it was hard to find images that worked the way I wanted. It was also hard to find images that fit this look online as well so the "perfect" model looks a bit more modern and not straight out of an old magazine. 

(the images are the inspo and the vibes I was trying to go for)
