Through deliberate, photo-sculptural visual strategies, I reveal the possibility to change (or at least interrogate) the epidemic formula of narrowly objectifying representations of female identity. By operating simultaneously on multiple levels of social, cultural, and political complexities, I employ the transformative power of photography to continually shift the register of portrayal between the subject and object-hood of the feminine. Objet Fatale re-invests women’s bodies with layered, complex, frustratingly ambiguous, and rich meaning to empower women, not to reduce them to simple objects of desire.
