Jasmine 

Fernanda Suarez painted "Jasmine" in the 20th century with what appears to be a digital medium. Immediately, one is struck by the composition's clever interplay of form, as the flowing lines of Jasmine's hair contrast with the geometric precision of her gold earrings and the soft curves of the cat she's holding. Suarez destabilizes our expectations of the familiar Disney character by placing her in modern clothing. This change reflects a broader poststructuralist critique of representation and challenges fixed meanings associated with cultural icons. Jasmine's gaze confronts us directly, questioning traditional power dynamics within the image. The artist further complicates these themes through the cat, whose bright orange colour forms a playful contrast with Jasmine’s blue outfit. This use of contrasting colours challenges established categories by blending the familiar with the new. The semiotic system employed here encourages us to reinterpret Jasmine's identity through a contemporary lens.
