Playful, provocative, and unapologetically unladylike, Puff, Puff, Pass challenges traditional notions of femininity, propriety, and the expectations placed upon women to behave.
Featuring sculptural impressions of lips and a hand holding a cigarello, the bronze-toned forms emerge from an ornate black backdrop, juxtaposing old-world elegance with a decidedly rebellious gesture.
Equal parts humour and social commentary, the work invites viewers to question who gets to define virtue, whose behaviour is deemed respectable, and why pleasure, autonomy, and a little misbehaviour have historically been considered so scandalous.
After all, who decided a lady ought to behave?
