Behind the Stare, inspired by constructivist collage artist Hannah Hoch, explores the internal conflict in young girls growing up in modern day. The centralized lino print portrait stares accusingly at the viewer’s against a collage backdrop, with a judging gaze. The collage, using reds and grays, splits down the middle to emphasize the duality of childhood and adolescence. Paired with the portrait of the young girl, the work emphasizes another powerful emotion; inner conflict.
