Blind Faiths 

About Thoughts of Josephine: 

 

The roaring 20s was a transitional time for women. The “flapper generation” was full of young women who were tackling the struggle for freedom and equality. 

 

100 years on, the 2020s mark a new wave of feminist mobilisation. We are aware of how far we have come - but also aware of how far we have to go. 

 

But what is the modern woman?

 

Thoughts of Josephine is a symbol of female strength - both physical and mental. It intertwines femininity throughout the last century and encapsulates what it truly means to be female.

 

The two sides of a coin. The two sides of a face. One we show, one we keep hidden. 

 

Dark, cold colours with a splash of colour. We look from afar, yet know we will never see.

 

A strong chin. One that has suffered blows yet continues to stand. 

 

The smoke of stress being blown away, yet the fire kept near.

 

Can we find equality?
