Grimm Stories: Feminist Fiction
"Grimm Stories: Feminist Fiction" explores feminist movements from America, Iran, and Korea, reinterpreting classic Grimm's fairy tales through a lens of empowerment, resistance, and cultural identity. By examining the timeless themes of these fairy tales the work challenges traditional gender roles and reflects the ongoing fight for autonomy and equality. This Triptych of both acrylic and oil, works to reclaim these ever changing narratives, offering a space for the voices of marginalized women, celebrating their resilience, and urging a re imagining of both folklore and society.
