It has been a hundred years since the First World War . The proud
women of today demonstrate The prestige of military uniforms of
the Second Industrial Revolution until the end of the Weimar
Republic . My project “Eve’s Glory” aims to highlight the contrast
between this history and the pride and “glory” with today’s modern
women.
In my new project, I intend to explore the visual impossibility of
presenting women in uniforms. I am interested in challenging the
conventional ways in which female is presented in visual arts.

presenting women risks failing to capture those who are in a state
of internal or, amongst all, external obstacles in their full
complexity.
This photo project shows women with the contrast between two
different worlds. It deals with unique characters regardless of age,
health and origin. Women who fought their ways through life and
young ladies who strive for their path.
Hence, in this art project, I will play with the visual incongruity of
women dressed in military uniforms presented in a faithful
detailed atmosphere. I prefer to keep their facial features natural
and delicate by using dramatic lighting, inspired by the paintings
and photographs of that era, according to it these features and the
uniforms have become part of their physical appearance.

social status. The authentic uniforms belong to officials from
several countries , between 1868 and the 1930s, symbolize the
strict system value of this period, which manifested
