The word i chose was societal standards, which i guess is actually two words, but whatever. I am a strong advocate of doing what you want and being whoever you want to be. Everyone is different, however society likes to put everyone into boxes and label us. We have to know every detail about ourselves, and if they don't fit into the nicely labeled boxes then we have to conceal them in order to fit in. It's like trying to fit a triangle in a square hole. It doesn't work.
This poses the question, "How do societal standards effect individuals?" I tried to represent this question by taking multiple of one object and throwing in an object that is clearly different but trying to appear the same as the others. My favorite was definitely the banana corn. I took a banana and painted it to look like corn then placed it inside of a corn husk. It looks somewhat like corn but it is clearly not corn. I took the same approach with the other pictures. I took a red apple and painted it green, painted a red shoe white, changed a target brand crayon box to look like it was Crayola, and cut off the top of a red lipstick to make the pink lipstick appear to be red. Overall i think it turned out pretty nice.
