Strong Woman You Strong Woman Me 5

Strong Woman You, Strong Woman Me is a series of work growing out of Me Too, war, oppression and populations on the move, the faces looking out at us, the eyes talking for so many women around the world who remain silent. I may not be able to tell their stories, but I can help them ask the questions. 

My current exploration of strong faces shows I am getting pretty fed up with the word beautiful. It takes everything away and gives us nothing in return. When we award status beauty we deny strength and intelligence. If status beauty is not awarded, what then?
