Original work 1/1

“Through The Lens” is a series all about the subject looking at their life through the camera lens. The beams showcase accomplishments, culture, and iconic moments.

The shine of the resin and glitter elevates this piece and makes it really glamorous. This was made for the ultimate Marilyn Monroe lover.

She is a bit surprised and maybe even vulnerable but I wanted to show her accomplishments and how she became so much more than a hollywood actress. I sought to capture not just her beauty but also the contradictions and vulnerabilities that made her a truly unforgettable figure. Marilyn Monroe’s story is one of triumph and tragedy, of dreams fulfilled and shattered, and through this artwork, I aim to pay homage to the woman behind the legend, highlighting her resilience and the enduring impact she has left on the world.
