Task three Renée Cox Hot en Tot 1994

At first glance I see that Renee cox is using her own body to make a statement about sexuality and nudity, but at a further look I start to believe that she is also showing how women of her race are portrayed in social media. women of her culture are often shown in a sexualized and rather negative light.
I chose this image as it stood out to me the most, I feel like it made more of a statement than the rest in my opinion. Although I feel like she’s showing how women of her race are portrayed in the media I think the monochrome finish helps it reach out to a wider variety of people, it allows the viewer to be able to make a connection with it. As an artist I feel she has used her power to get an important point across, the way women are viewed in media has been a problem for years.
