Picasso’s Woman (2000)

Bronze, powder-coated welded steel
150 x 69 x 39 cm. (59 x 27 x 15. in)

Picasso’s Woman responds to the historical legacy of modernist representations of the female body as fragmented, distorted, and possessed through the male gaze. The work reflects on how such images continue to inform contemporary expectations of femininity, desire, and visibility. Within Anatomies of Control, the sculpture interrogates how cultural inheritance functions as a disciplinary force, shaping the female body through repetition, idealization, and symbolic consumption.
