Artist's Concept:
"The Mental Load 2.0: Owned" continues the exploration of the mental burdens carried by women, focusing on the themes of control and ownership. The print intensifies the narrative established by the original sculpture, where societal expectations and invisible responsibilities are symbolised through intricate details.
The wine bottle, in which the doll is now directly immersed, represents the inescapable nature of these burdens. The doll's choker, consistent with the original, adds a layer of ornamental constraint, reinforcing the societal pressures that dictate appearance and behaviour. The black hand and golden chain evoke a powerful image of subjugation, highlighting the sinister side of patriarchal control. This piece serves as a stark reminder of the weight of these invisible chains.

My Shiny Perspective:
"This print might seem like a playful homage to a night at the Met Gala, followed by some quiet introspection—but don’t let the sparkles fool you! Our poor doll is swimming directly in a wine bottle, with her choker growing tighter with each sip. But it’s not just the grape juice that has her feeling trapped. Has she cabbed it to an underground club to live out a secret fantasy, or is she trying to sip her way out of an exposé on the patriarchy?"
