Baby
Digital Photography Composite
My goal with this piece of art is to
express my feelings about female innocence. I titled this piece “Baby”, because
this is a term men have been known to call their children and their
sexual partners. I find it strange that women are expected to possess the innocence
of a child, and the maturity and sexual skill of an adult. I used the back of
this woman because to me, the female back holds a lot of meaning. A woman’s
back hurts when she cooks and cleans, and when she carries a child in her
belly, and then in her arms. Her back even hurts as a young girl, when she
cramps, and when she has to hold the weight of her new chest. The female back
shows a lot of strength in my eyes, because it bears the weight of life that
men cannot begin to bear. However, most women still feel like innocent children
on the inside, which is why I placed a reflection of the woman’s young self on
her back. The weight of her child self even bearing down on her, reminding her
of who she really is.
