Pretty, Please. By Allison Morris

"This series of self portraits intends to emphasize and question the outlandish and nonsensical nature of 'feminine' objects and traditions - everything from hairstyles to body modification - the purpose of which is to shape and alter the feminine body, and maintain a firm grasp on an otherwise fleeting youth. Through the ironic and overindulgent use of these oddities, I aim to draw attention to their absurdity and the barrier they create between the person subscribing to them, and the outside world. This work intends to draw attention to these objects in a humorous and satirical way, allowing us to identify the absurd notion of the ideal female."
