Pretty Girls Make Trophy Wives
This piece is inspired by the idea that women who are beautiful can find a place in high society by becoming the wife to a wealthy partner. In film and many other art forms we see the trope of a young striking woman on the arm of an older or much less attractive partner and the woman’s beauty lends her partner its value by making them more desirable to society by their association. This piece is challenging those tropes and asking us to see our partners for more than their exterior make up.
