The origin of the Off With Her Head series was inspired by an object being sold online. The image advertised was a Cinderella figurine whose head was severed and being cradled within the fabric of her own gown. The seller didn’t even address the issue that the figurine's head was no longer attached to her body. This image struck me as a profound and an accurate depiction of the intentional silencing of women as we are often seen as merely vessels of beauty and birthing.
