This lithograph shows a representation of an “objectified” female. A woman’s body consists of objects, all symbolizing the degradation of the female body. An Egg symbolizes unequal value of fertility, a clam represents the degrading language associated with female genitalia, jewelry displays women’s overwhelming beauty expectations, and other items, such as a sewing needle, show the domesticated prospects many women find themselves trapped by; This is to name just a few. All of these objects, including the woman’s face is represented through a pencil sketch, however the only image that is fully representational is the woman’s underwear. This pair of panties being the only photographed image within the entire composition, displays the way many men objectify women, only seeing them clearly for what they can offer sexually.
