Plaything

Plaything frames the body as an object suspended between innocence and desire, staged in a backyard on a child’s rocking horse. Wearing 1950s lingerie and a headscarf, the image borrows the polished language of mid-century femininity while quietly unraveling it. The childlike prop and carefully styled domestic setting position the figure as something ornamental and controlled, yet self-aware—suggesting a woman performing softness while recognizing herself as both participant and object within the fantasy.
