Women in the World

Women in the world in which they inhabit. Proud and humbled, caring and cared for, in traditional roles and breaking new ground.

This work explores the universal roles and attitudes of women in the world they inhabit. Women are both proud and humbled, take on traditional roles and break new ground, look towards the future and run from the past. At times, women are revered and encouraged to transcend their perceived limitations and seize empowering new opportunities, while at other times they are driven to subservient work and regarded with contempt. In some cultures, women play a pivotal and honored role as the keeper of traditions, bearer of children, and family caregivers. In other cultures, these same responsibilities are assigned as punitive and debasing. A woman’s beauty is a double-edged sword which can lead to love and respect, but unfortunately also to abuse. Women accept, expand, are debased by, and break through the conventions of their family, their community, their culture, and society at large. These are international themes of the women I’ve observed in the world.
