Be–Mused Series
Women have long been history's most photographed subject and its least credited author. Be-Mused returns to landmark works from the 17th century onward, paintings and photographs that turned the female body into ornament and rebuilds them from behind the lens. The series doesn't just revisit these images; it reclaims them, turning centuries of muse into maker.
