Chelsea Girl No. 5

In this piece, Marko defies dominant depictions of women by replacing the elements of provocation and nudity with ferocity and urban trendiness. The girl's intense glare and oppositional body language indicates her ownership over her body, rising above the clutches of themale's glance. Despite her empowerment, she is still youthful and soft, traits that are conventionally pleasing. Consequently, Marko shows that a woman's lushness and desirability can still transmit a defiant vigor that rises beyond the limits of the male gaze. Finally, Marko adds his name in bright lettering, which almost acts as another barrier distancing the onlooker from the woman.
