You’re Too Pretty Not to Smile
“You’re Too Pretty Not To Smile” is a bold commentary on the intrusive nature of catcalls and backhanded compliments that women often endure simply by stepping outside. Through the imagery of two Dobermans—one barking fiercely, the other gazing with quiet defiance—this piece captures the tension between societal expectations and personal empowerment.
The dogs’ expressions embody the dual response: anger at being objectified and a stoic refusal to comply. This work challenges the expectation for women to be pleasant or accommodating in the face of harassment, asserting that their worth is not tied to how pleasing they appear to strangers.
By using the symbolism of powerful Dobermans, the painting encourages women to embrace their strength and reject the pressures to conform.
