At the edge of a cliff, a young girl looks upward as she plays with a doll-like figure. No one stands beside her. No one intervenes. A flamingo lingers nearby - ornamental, absurd, incapable of action.
Shaped within a culture that continues to excuse the mistreatment of women, the work reflects what is quietly permitted. Children do not learn from what we say. They learn from what we do and what we normalize.What we elevate. What we dismiss. What we allow to pass without consequence.
What, then, is this young girl meant to aspire to?
