This small monument to woman represents the duality between wanting te be beautiful/seductictive and being judged for that. The vulnerability lies in the technique and choice of materials (textiles) that are seen as feminine. The primal power of the woman (to protect, to give birth, to worry) is in the scales that form a kind of chain mail/armor.
