Girls with Fruit, Vol. 2
by Tiffany J. Sutton
Location: T2 Concourse East Wall
In The Girls with Fruits, vol. 2 collection, photographer Tiffany J. Sutton references mythological stories, medical knowledge, and art historical imagery when she selects a specific fruit symbolic of her subjects’ essence.
In creating narratives about women regardless of their ethnicity, age and body type, Sutton sees her photography as an act of love for herself and her female friends. She asks her subjects to turn their female gaze on themselves and challenge previous self-conceptions. By viewing her subjects in a receptive and positive manner, Sutton finds that they become more comfortable and free.
