Art History (2013) reinterprets classical art through a lens of gender, sexuality, and power. By taking canonical works and reimagining them with an overtly sexualized gaze, the series interrogates the ways in which gendered bodies have been framed, fetishized, and controlled throughout history. 


From Renaissance nudes to royal portraiture, each image subverts its historical reference point, exposing the inherent tension between admiration and objectification. 


Art History challenges the authority of the gaze, questioning who is looking, who is being looked at, and who holds power in the act of seeing.
