LIKE MARYLIN

In this canvas, a woman is dressed and styled in the likeness of Marilyn Monroe.

Marilyn Monroe, the American actress renowned for her portrayals of comedic "Blond Bombshell" characters, emerged as one of the most iconic sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s.

She also became a symbol of the era's sexual revolution. Even long after her passing, Monroe remains a prominent figure in popular culture and a true source of inspiration for me.

The zebra motif resonates both with the stripes on her hands and her personality—what we could perceive on the surface and what she may have concealed or felt within.

The words serve as a call to life and a resistance against the oppression faced by women constrained by societal norms and male dominance.
