On hold - competing at the Waitakere City 37th Annual Art Comps - art prints coming this week!
Concept:
In Candy Dreams, the pink mannequin torso (Gifted by Cotton On in South Auckland) features a head formed from Barbie doll heads, bodies, and legs. This symbolises the many differing roles a woman must balance to handle the mental load in today's modern society. The intricate arrangement reflects how women juggle multiple identities and responsibilities, with each part contributing to the weight of maintaining balance amidst the diverse demands placed on them. The contrast between the vibrant colours and the deeper meaning highlights the complexities of navigating these roles.

Candy Dreams
My Shiny Perspective:
Ever tried juggling flaming torches while balancing a pile of laundry on your head? No? Well, in Candy Dreams, that’s pretty much the vibe. The head—a gloriously chaotic medley of Barbie doll parts—is a visual reminder that women have to keep it all together, even when things are falling apart faster than your favourite shoes. And let’s be real, who hasn’t felt like they were carrying 37 different versions of themselves, all at once? Lean in, because there’s no manual for this madness—only pink plastic limbs, wild ambition, and a truckload of caffeine. Welcome to the show, where every day is a balancing act, and the ticket price is your sanity.
