This installation was created to tell my experience when objectified in public. I chose to use sewing as the medium to reclaim my identity as well as signify a lack of evolution in terms of flirtatious games. Cat calls are commonly justified as a compliment though often it is unwanted attention. Most women I know prefer "Good morning" over "I know what I'd like to do to that." "The text, inspired by Burgers' Ways of Seeing reads, "I just want to 'be,' not 'be seen as," "desirable, but not coveted," and "to be loved but not for my body."
