In Skater Butt, the female body is abstracted and flattened into an emblem—playful and seemingly innocent at first glance. The familiar silhouette of the skater girl is fragmented into marks reminiscent of print media Ben-Day dots, dissolving the figure into surface and reproduction. She occupies the charged space between empowerment and objectification.

Rendered in saturated pinks and reds against a muted, semi-transparent resin ground, the surface shifts between smooth gradients and punctured textures, evoking both pop iconography and flesh. The skater girl conjures nostalgia—roller rinks, teenage freedom, carefree movement—yet the pose is undeniably provocative. The figure teeters between self-possession and spectacle.

Glossy resin and layered forms heighten this tension, creating a seductive finish that mirrors the polished surfaces through which femininity is consumed. Like much of my work, Skater Butt employs cultural shorthand as a point of entry. The skater girl is not a fixed identity but a mutable archetype—reflecting how femininity is projected, commodified, and ultimately reclaimed.
