Reworking of “Nonchaloir (Repose)
, 2022
48 x 34.1 cm (h x w)
Watercolor on paper
This piece represents the role of external perspectives on the female experience. The transparency of the surrounding figures signifies the lack of substance in the opinions of others, which is similarly portrayed in the fluidity of the medium. The reference to “Nonchaloir (Repose)” by John Singer Sargent imbues a sense of classicality. This piece encourages contemplation on how the actions of women are constantly influenced by outside perspectives and the subsequent paralyzing effect.
