For this project, I was tasked with remixing a piece of art to make it relevant to current times. I chose to bring a modernized take to the painting Judith Slaying Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi by turning it into a three-dimensional cubism inspired relief. Based on Gentileschi’s personal experience with sexual assault, I wanted to make a statement on the solidarity of women during the current Me Too movement by adding the hands of other women on Judith’s shoulders and the handle of the knife. I was proud of the way I was able to translate cubism into a three dimensional space, as I’ve never tried that style of art before. Cinema 4D and 3D print, 2019

Revisions to original piece; added full bodies to hands and arms as well as making women in the background more detailed.
