Object Study

An Object Study

Medium

Bronze

This work looks so inconspicuous until you see the title — 'An Object Study, where the subject becomes an Object.' At first glance it captures a seated young girl engrossed in a 3-D object study, appearing innocent and ordinary. But instead of a traditional seat, she rests upon an Object Study stool — instantly transforming her into an object of study for the observer. This work delves into 'perception' and the 'male gaze,' inviting reflection on how the placement of a woman can alter perceptions within a male-dominated society — a women-centric exploration of societal and power dynamics.
