This piece is about self-loathing as many of us women tend to feel towards our bodies due to the constant bombardment by the media who show women with impossible to attain body types ( usually photoshopped ).
But the pain and hurt we feel about our bodies are very real and I hope I was able to communicate a little of this in this painting.

As we glance into the mirror of our lives, we see images of who we are, who we wish to become, and who we can be as women.

Inspired by Charlotte Perkins Gilman short story ” The Yellow Wallpaper “, Circé explores a scene from that story while adding elements that displays through image the ” descent into madness “. A descent that has been driven by isolation, abuse, stigma, ” hysteria ” and other ” female neurotic maladies ” that historically have been used to label to label, pathologize and force treament for the ” mental health ” and “ well being “ women.
The vague shapes visible in the wallpaper brings us to the understanding that in freeing ourselves, we are freeing others, and our struggles are irrevocably connected. In her attempt to free the shadowy figures in the wallpaper, she is also working to free herself. Circé notes that the heroine is fierce and her capacity for survival, as with all women, is equally fierce.

Circé explores deeply feminist themes in Herpower. Despite controversial arguments in radical feminism, Circé’s image argues that the portrayal of women’s sexuality can be powerful, power within, not power over, a sexual woman. The model’s direct gaze, frontal nudity all speak to the transparency and clarity that Circé sees as an integral part of women claiming their bodies and their sexuality.
