Iron Women

This is a series of images with a message about the strength of women. My idea behind the iron clad images I have posted here is that their skin looks as if it were forged from steel or iron. It is the idea that women look soft but are actually quite strong and can withstand a great deal in this world. The extension of that in these particular images are that women should be the owners of their own destiny and sexuality. They hold their own keys; the arm, leg and hand positioning represent the protection of self. Women in many societies don’t hold that seemingly simple freedom.
