Eye Candy delves into the complex portrayal of the female form, exposing the pervasive narrative that reduces women to mere objects of desire within a patriarchal ideology. Through a multimedia approach, this series explores how visual media constructs the female identity.

In Eye Candy, I employ a layered visual language, juxtaposing artificial constructs of desire. Women are depicted in poses that epitomize traditional notions of femininity, their images overlaid on paper infused with artificially vibrant sugary candy. Patterns of flowers, lace, and other sensually intricate feminine forms adorn the body, serving as both a decoration and a varnish, saturating the surface with an excess of gratuitous shine. This exaggeration of elements serves to highlight the superficiality of societal ideals of beauty and femininity, which often prioritize surface allure over substance.

The use of candy as a symbolic motif further underscores the transient nature of desire and consumption. Dyed and shaped to evoke immediate gratification, candies mirror the ephemeral allure of desire, which promises fulfillment but ultimately dissolves.

Through "Eye Candy," I aim to expose the seductive nature of consumption. How does consumption construct our perceptions of self-worth and identity?
