924 explored the beliefs of the male-dominated Surrealist movement and the deeply-troubling objectification of the female form at its core. The artist’s self-portraiture utilized the visual language of the Surrealists in order to construct a new meaning within the works created by male artists of the movement, one where women’s bodies are seen not as a medium to reflect the male artist’s values, but as a means of self-expression - combining photography as well as darkroom techniques of the time in order to bring forth the subliminal and confront the male gaze.

The combination of carefully chosen framing and lighting created a meditative atmosphere where one could question the work and its meaning in the space.
