Heroines with Baggage Installations
"Heroines with Baggage" is an ongoing project devoted to the study of the proliferation of subtle negative gender-based stereotypes throughout the video games that I grew up playing and how the presence of these stereotypes has impacted my growth- especially in my expectations of love, tragedy, and the roles I take on in my adult relationships. These prints are derived from images I captured during my experience re-playing and deconstructing Final Fantasy 2-10, Chrono Trigger, Valkyrie Profile, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2, Star Ocean, and Thousand Arms.
