Woman is a home decoration

In patriarchal culture, has developed a stereotype that a woman's vocation is to decorate the house, create comfort, coziness, and also be a decoration in the eyes of others. The individuality of a particular woman disappears in these things, they define her. However, in the era of changing gender roles, this situation does not seem to be absolutely correct.

I want to reflect and deconstruct this cultural stereotype. Despite the fact that gender stereotypes are changing, we still meet their echoes in films, TV shows, statements by politicians and by bloggers.

Just like in the thriller «The stepford wives», the sweet home space of an objectified woman becomes a horror room, which reflects negative emotions that have escaped from the subconscious. The house of this woman turns into something similar to the house of Mr. Corbes from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale, where something dangerous and creepy appears in ordinary household items.
