Throughout art history, male painters have often used the female form as a central subject, frequently portraying women as symbols of beauty, fertility, sensuality.Though these representations often reflected the male gaze, framing women as objects of desire rather than autonomous individuals.Goldstein reverses the dynamics by representing the female models that have themselves become iconic, even surpassing their creators.Interwoven flawlessly is social commentary and critique; The environment, social disparity and the human condition. Most significant is Dina's passion for Women's rights.
