The queen of La La land is a critical comment on the plight of women in a persisting patriarchy, as well as the absence of herstory. The glass tiara and stack of vases are important clues for the latter in my work.

The work is a critical comment on the ongoing plight of women in a persisting patriarchy, as well as the absence of not history but “herstory”. The glass tiara and stack of vases are important clues for the latter in my work. The glass tiara becomes a poignant symbol for the fragile position of women in history. Women were marginalized, silenced, excluded and or selectively included in history. The stack of vases slyly comments on the weight of an exclusionary history women had through the centuries. The vases were also specifically chosen as symbols for women all over the world, still carrying water on their heads to this day, especially in third world countries.
