Woman Crying (W.C.)

The work examines how emotional expressions, particularly feminine vulnerability, are constructed and consumed through visual culture. Published by White Columns as a limited edition print of 50, the piece exemplifies Collier's broader artistic practice of interrogating representation, authorship, and the reproduction of images in contemporary society.
