Marilyn Monroe

Four fragments of a graphite portrait eyes, face, hand, hair are cut out and layered onto a hot pink and black paper ground. Torn notebook paper labels read "Actress," "Icon," and "Marilyn Monroe." Small printed stickers, yellow stars, and red hearts are scattered across the surface. The work is deliberately fragmented: a full portrait becomes pieces, just as a public figure becomes myth. The scrapbook energy pushes against the gravity of the subject, reclaiming her as something personally held rather than publicly archived.
