Monumental Bodies Jan 2016

Caitlin Alexandra's 2016 artwork, "Monumental Bodies," presents a striking image. A figure, styled like a classical statue in grayscale, is depicted with a long, dark crimson mass cascading from her midsection. This juxtaposition of classical aesthetics with a visceral, organic form creates a powerful and unsettling effect, exploring themes of the body, mortality, and the contrast between idealized beauty and raw, internal reality. The piece likely challenges viewers' perceptions of traditional representations of the female form, prompting reflection on the complexities of both physical and emotional experience.
