MISTRESSPIECES (2025)The 10 piece series features ten large-scale images that reimagine iconic female portraits from art history, placing these figures at the center of modern-day challenges. Goldstein’s signature blend of cinematic storytelling and dark satire challenges the male gaze while reframing the originals through themes such as environmental crisis, poverty, AI replication, and refugee displacement.
Goldstein’s work has been the subject of academic essays and dissertations, and has been covered extensively in media around the globe. The projects are studied and taught in art schools.
