Lauren Wells, "Untitled"

Lauren Wells Untitled, 6 x 12.5 in. Oil on Paper $200 -- Untitled explores the societal pressures placed on women, examining the tension between physicality, expectations, and self-worth. The sewing measuring tape, a symbol of precision and calculation, becomes a tool for both measurement and judgment, echoing the ways in which women are often assessed and quantified by external standards. The marks on the tape represent both the measurements imposed upon women’s bodies and the often invisible emotional toll these judgments take. https://www.laurenwellsstudio.com/
