About the art
Artist statement
This piece is a tribute to Kamala Harris, who, like a superhero, is fighting to win this election, unite our divided country, protect our democracy, and become the first female President of the United States of America. In this work, the corset symbolizes female power. It is often seen on female superheroes in movies, television, digital games, and comic books. It also appears in Lysistrata’s wardrobe in Chiraq. The corset’s practical function as a garment serves to bring together and support the person wearing it, which also serves as a powerful metaphor for uniting our country.
