Each face and body in Jessica Yatrofsky's I Heart Girl confronts the clichs of conventional gender stereotypes. The kind of hyper-sexualised images of women we so often see in the media are nowhere to be found; instead, we are given a new picture of what contemporary female culture looks like. The photographs depict young women - naked, clothed, hard-featured, delicate, both alone and in pairs. Some subjects are adorned by tattoos, some have piercings. Together, the subjects repaint the cultural landscape of gender and show an alternative perspective on beauty.Each face and body in Jessica Yatrofsky's I Heart Girl confronts the clichs of conventional gender stereotypes.
