I AM EVERY WOMEN
Attitudes towards women have changed and evolved. In fact, they are still evolving. Whether we use reality or fiction as our point of inspiration, there are undeniable commonalities in art featuring women: the themes of diversity, tolerance and sex.
Inspired by WHITNEY HOUSTON’s song “I Am Every Woman”, and referencing JUDY CHICAGO’s “The Dinner Party”, photographer LEWIS CHAN explores the different dimensions of women through inspection of famous muses over time.
Statuesque and in white, she represents Venus, the Roman goddess of love, sex, desire, fertility, victory and prosperity.
