Sherman's photographic works similarly use the female figure in staged, narrative, and often surreal chromogenic prints that blend personal mythology with art historical references. Like Smith's Sleeping Witch, her images construct layered storytelling through costumed or transformed figures on photo paper.

Mendieta's figurative and mythological photographic works explore the female body in surreal, ritualistic, and narrative contexts that closely parallel the mystical subject matter of Sleeping Witch. Both artists use color photography to evoke primal feminine archetypes and dreamlike storytelling.

Skoglund creates large format chromogenic prints featuring figures placed within elaborately constructed surreal environments, sharing Smith's combination of photographic tradition with fantastical narrative imagery. Her works similarly merge color photography with figurative surrealism to produce otherworldly and psychologically charged scenes.
