This work explores the relationship between femininity, emotional identity, childhood memory, and the pressures of contemporary beauty culture through symbolic sculptural forms. Influenced by feminist theory and the politics of the gaze, the work reflects on how women are taught to prioritise appearance and external validation over emotional and intellectual identity. The final sculpture presents a nude female figure constructed from plywood, with a flower replacing the head and simplified floral forms held within the hands. These childlike flowers symbolise innocence, creativity, and the ambitions associated with childhood, contrasting with the self-awareness and pressure surrounding femininity experienced in adulthood.Through the use of natural materials and visible wood grain, the work connects the body to ideas of growth, vulnerability, and organic development. Installed on the wall between image and object, the sculpture encourages viewers to reflect on how identity is shaped through memory, observation, and societal expectation. The work ultimately acts as both a personal reflection and a wider commentary on the emotional impact of growing up within appearance-focused culture.
