Military Womxn

This Series is titled “Military Womxn”. Its is a conceptual photographic series created by Justin Beswick ‘’The statistics for violence against women and children are similar to those of a country at war.’’ These stages may be familiar or unfamiliar to some that deal with the choice of battles. This is a commentary on the opposition being those that commit GBV crimes and for these soldiers fighting for a better world. Fighting and violence within some aspects of life has become ‘’normalized’ and emotions such as fear have taken away specific freedoms of everyday life and mental health. This is an idea that is explored by creating representations of soldiers in the models’ wardrobes this about womxn being soldiers in their own daily wars, battles and armistice’s. The heroines in this series have in the end of this metaphorical series’ war overcome the enemy, and recaptured their freedom, strength and identities.
