When Panda was a little girl in school and learned about The Great Pyramids of Giza, they sparked so much wonder in her mind. She recognized how they possessed so much beauty, power and mystery which she feels is the perfect representation of what women are— BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL AND FULL OF MYSTERY.

“There are so many times in life that you have to start over, even if you don’t want to, it’s part of moving on and moving forward, past whatever it is that wasn’t right for you. Using Barbie dolls that were thrown out shows you what you can become when you have the courage to start over and create a new beginning for yourself. It’s about taking that leap of faith and believing that you are better, and you are more than your circumstances,” Panda explains.

This piece represents what it feels like BEING A WOMAN.
