Frida and Commercial Items
The commercial items I’ve chosen to collect are to show how her art clashes with the commercial items she is used for sales. Take for example this emojis, a considerably emotionally dark self-portrait, is now portrayed in an entirely different tone. One could argue that it strips away the dignity and the message of what the portrait stands for and watered down to a commercial item for consumption. Therefore, rewriting Frida’s narrative of being an authentic, genuine, soul-baring artist.
