Using the Barbie doll I was playing with as a kid, I turned it into this artwork.
I started pouring some leftover acrylic paint over her and then slowly added detailled and delicate representations of coral reefs over her body, reminiscent of a drowned toy.
the Barbie doll is quite representative of everything that is going awry in today’s society, over consumption (she is a so called “fashion” doll), plastic but also beauty standards and vanity.
