Iconic Art by Maja Cunningham

A visual diary entry. This collage explores the illusion of perfection and the unattainable ideals symbolized by the iconic shape. Floating weightlessly, she exists in a suspended state—untouchable, yet omnipresent—mirroring the unrealistic aspirations often imposed by society. By placing her in an ambiguous space, I invite the viewer to consider the weight of cultural expectations disguised as dreams, and to reflect on the pursuit of ideals that may forever remain just out of reach.
