Corpse Project

The wine bottles in this project are decontextualized by various objects which symbolize the degeneration and demise of a young woman, or a of an entire young female generation if you choose to interpret that way. The tape measure around the neck of a bottle represents the pressure felt by young women as a result of unrealistic beauty standards set by mass media. The jewels and other female accouterments stand for the struggle and strife to meet a societal standard of beauty. And lastly yet most importantly, alcoholism becomes the young woman's coping mechanism until she consequently meets a bittersweet death.
