โLadies of the Bath is a mythos I created to explore different ways to respond to trauma. Ladies of the Bathโs central premise is what women and marginalized people will do to maintain a safe space. What it inherently means is to have a room, or place of oneโs own, and the richness of community and support that can happen. Visually, I wanted the viewer to feel part of the scene, as these people celebrate and enjoy each otherโs company. I wanted the figures to look invested and independent.โ
