For “All Women are Beautiful” as an act of sustainability, the artist re-modeled a 2014 small sculpture by replacing a replica of her cat with a modified Barbie doll.  Barbie dolls with their sleek blonde hair, long legs, and slender bodies represent the western ideal of female beauty.  The artist altered this icon in praise of another type of beauty…that displayed by the brave women survivors of breast cancer and hair loss.  In today’s environment that glorifies youthful normative ideal bodies, the artist reminds us that…all women are beautiful!
