“The woman that I’m trying to communicate is very different from the type of woman who is seen in the world today, especially in New York. I’m trying to communicate a multiplicity and a grayscale version of femininity. There are so many serious binaries of woman hood today. I like this idea of a paradoxical, complicated, not necessarily politically correct woman.”
