Hollywood
This is a commentary on the effects of Hollywood on an individual—the subject being both the actor and the viewer. Hollywood is a nightmarish place of sexual pressures, bodily torment for the sake of beauty, and identity erasure for success. In this piece, from the perspective of the actor, she tries to hide her insecurities from the camera, though she has hardly any self to protect. And from the perspective of the viewer, she experiences the same feelings when exposed to the influence of Hollywood. It impacts her own expectations of beauty, sexuality, and her failure to uphold them. The artwork demonstrates the calm exterior of the subject, hiding the emotional anarchy contained within.
