Summary/Artist's Statement
This collection is about reclaiming the word siren, ridding it of negative connotations and returning power to the woman. Throughout history and popular culture, sirens have often been depicted as monstrous creatures, stripped of autonomy and reduced to their sex. To me, a siren is a woman who embraces her sexuality and femininity while still owning her power as an independent woman, free from the confines of societal expectations, and secure within her own being.
