My Fair Ladies: The Free Spirit

Donna Rosenthal explores identity—primarily that of females—through text and metaphor, as seen in her sculpture My Fair Ladies: The Free Spirit. Her work reflects the persistent need for individuals to define and re-define themselves through social constructs. She notes, “Using text, repetition, and the cultural symbolism of clothing, I reveal the struggles between the internal and external self, exposing the distinctions, expectations, conflicts, and joys that exist for individuals and between the sexes.”
