Rooster and Eye

This piece is about the role of the man and woman in social norms. It was inspired by the doctrines people, especially women of upper class had to obey and the propriety, which became their slave drivers in Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility. While the women are generically suppressed the men take the spotlight. In this artwork I placed an eye in the woman’s and rooster in the man’s face. The woman, although evidence to the contrary, is the window to the soul of society whereas the man is the oblivious rooster who does not do so much as hatch an egg but only fertilizes it.
