Separated from Society's Sight

Artist Statement
            I am expressing the strength and independence of women in contrast to society's distorted view. Society, in general, views women as lesser than men; women are not seen as capable. From grade eight through Junior year of high school my mother took care of the family. My dad was going through many surgeries, and those had their side effects. When the family business started to fall it was my mother that took care of everything, and she did not feel as she was doing enough. She constantly felt down and out, but she tried to maintain positivity. My mother, in that time, was trying to break free of societal suppression; she was becoming more independent than the she thought she could. The dancers are breaking free from society’s view and becoming more independent and confident. The dancers represent the small part of women who truly feel independent, and the broken environment shows how shattered society’s view of women is.
