"Monster" is a mixed media collage that takes on the fury of patriarchal control and the fierce resistance of independent women. The words "Monster," "Monster bitch," and "ovarian psycho" are the angry labels often hurled at women who dare to live on their own terms, challenging the established norms. A cartoonish scene unfolds with two men arguing in the background, their signs small and irrelevant—just noise, trying to drown out the voices that matter..
Two women, their faces marked with black X's, represent the silencing attempts of those who seek to control their narrative. But across from them, an outlet stands as a symbol of hope. By plugging in and empowering each other, we gain the strength to defeat these forces. Above the men, two angry cats hiss, keeping the oppressors at bay, while pink flowers surround the women, a vivid testament to their resilience and growth. Despite the pushback, they will continue to flourish, unfazed by the noise and determined to rewrite their own stories.
