Central to the painting is a figure of a semi-nude Marie Antoinette, characterized by a dramatic, towering hairstyle adorned with theatrical masks, adding a layer of intrigue and complexity. The use of blue ribbons enhances the regal aspect, while the blue background creates a rich contrast that emphasizes the figure.The woman holds a doll, which symbolizes innocence or the pressures of motherhood and societal expectations. This choice adds a poignant commentary on femininity and the roles women are often expected to play. The use of masks invites viewers to reflect on themes of identity, performance, and the duality of our social persona versus private life, echoing the theatricality of our everyday lives. Like Marie Antoinette, men and women play a role and social media is our audience… Will they hate you ? Will they love you? Will they lift you up, or destroy you?
