"Ladylike"

Anna Pavan
Dr. Heidi Cook, Faculty Mentor

This self-portrait is a representation of the education I have been imparted since childhood and its opposing outcome as a result of life experiences. I have always been told to "comportarmi da signorina" ("always behave like a lady" in english) even if that meant sticking to dangerous principles that society has imposed to my gender: "female". I have been learning on my own that acting like the "princess" everybody wanted me to be will not bring me anywhere in life.
