Fame Frame

This artwork captures the essence of Marilyn Monroe, a symbol of glamour, vulnerability, and complexity.
Echoing the black-and-white charm of 1950s cinema, this portrait uses a palette of black, white, and gray.

The chicken wire adds a tangible and contemporary dimension to this iconic woman named Marilyn Monroe.
The use of chicken wire symbolizes the barriers and fears Monroe faced. But instead of being confined, she broke through these 'bars'.

The subtle shades of gray between black and white not only reflect Monroe's heyday in the film world but also reveal the complexity of her life.

The title 'Fame Frame' gives the artwork an extra layer of meaning. Compare it to a picture frame: it defines the image but simultaneously limits it. Similarly, Monroe's star status determined both her life and legacy, elevating her while also constraining her.
