Investigating the amount of time, energy and money women spend on highlighting, amplifying, volumizing and refining, Girl Problems addresses our constant feelings of inadequacies and notions of beauty.

Additionally, the collages utilize language pulled from women's advertisements to address the not so subtle promotion that we are constantly objected to.
