Global Citizens Project

My work "Global Citizens (Emote Edition)" explores the female gaze through the use of charcoal drawing and textiles to represent ten women from numerous countries: Australia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Italy. Lebanon. New Zealand, USA, Vietnam. and Zimbabwe. Each woman presents a different gaze that is universally recognised by all audiences.

I want to highlight the emotional spectrum that one may feel in a day, depicting the common experience among strangers from different parts of the world. The use of textiles reiterates the warmth & love that one might want to experience when feeling in need while the negative space shows us that we all have room to grow together no matter where we are on the path shown.
