Steel, Wood.

Metal Bikini offers an ironic commentary on the absurdity of pin-up girls and their connection to the 1940s war effort.
The piece critiques how women's bodies were reduced to symbols of sex, valued only for their scantily clad appearances, often marketed as a motivator for men to return home from war.
This work challenges the historical (and present) objectification of women while embracing a camp aesthetic, using humor and exaggeration to underscore the contradictions of this historical portrayal.
