Frida Kahlo is a world-recognized and celebrated Mexican artist. She is now recognized as a feminist icon for the way she challenged heteronormativity and beauty ideals. Her transformative power as an icon is often portrayed through objects of consumerism. This collection is to help reflect if the commercialization of Frida Kahlo captures the sexual and cultural values that elevated her to the icon we know today or has it transcended her into a cultural product that only represents a set of values attached to fame and popularity?
