The Muse (Regrets & Redemptions)

What is Beauty?

The Muse (Regrets & Redemptions) explores concepts of beauty, sexuality, identity, spirituality and the power to control it individually, culturally and in society. (Formerly known as Barbie U.I.)


Barbie is arguably the present-day representative of the perfect human form, similar to Michelangelo's David, but forgoing the proportions of antiquity for the modern era of beauty obsession, A.I. controlled everything and anything goes altered appearances.


She is not everyone’s idea of beauty, especially when you account for the myriad differences of human beings across the globe and throughout time, but she is meant to be by its creators and many of her admirers, and despite the critics it’s successful to that measure. She is a stereotype that somehow transcends surface reading. She’s unmistakably American, but like David, universally relatable and idolized.


The era of social sharing heralded in a cracked wide open dialogue of combative rhetoric on multiple fronts about rights and what exactly comprises beauty and identity, whilst at the same time, the norms of the last 50 years continue to sell the same ole' ideas unabashedly.


Being a single white female from the late 50’s dropped into the current age of artificiality, such as the ever present ‘marketing persona’ that prevails everywhere (despite a simultaneous global yearning for the genuine and sincere), it begs the questions:


  • Is Barbie relevant at all today, especially as she was initially intended?
  • Is ‘she’ the pinnacle of any debate that concerns identify of any type?
  • Is Barbie just a toy or a veiled idea, a subliminal concept meant to subvert?


Barbie can lure you into her world. She’s charming and easy on the eyes. She represents a genuine innocent sincere joie de vivre missing today as we all embark on our carefully marketed attention seeking tours.


NOTE:

  • The Muse (Regrets & Redemptions) is genuine photography, utilizing standard post-production photography software and practices.
  • The Muse (Regrets & Redemptions) was not created using AI.
  • The Muse (Regrets & Redemptions) is a cultural, philosophical and artistic exploration by a professional artist for mature audiences only.
  • Barbie the doll is a toy for children, and as such, the intent and purpose as a toy should in no way be confused or associated with this series.


FROM WIKIPEDIA:

Barbie is a fashion doll manufactured by American toy company Mattel, Inc. and launched on March 9, 1959. American businesswoman Ruth Handler is credited with the creation of the doll using a German doll called Bild Lilli as her inspiration. LEARN MORE
