Becoming
Two sisters, Lucinda and Mary, dream of shedding their skin and becoming lizards, only to find themselves tricked by the very idol they strive to be. In association with California Dirt (a Los Angeles based jewelry company), Becoming utilizes this allegory to explore themes of women's relationship with society. As women, we are led to believe that we have to look a certain way by the world around us. However when we strive to become that societal idol in order to be respected, praised, or listened to, we can either put our life on the line or be told we are vain and care too much. Or in other words, women can be devoured by society! Chomp!
