    "There are no tyrannies that would not try to limit art, because they can see the power of art. Art can tell the world things that cannot be shared otherwise. It is art that conveys feelings."

     - Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine

    In the Pin-up series Marshall remodels the classic idea of the pin-up girl as an object of desire, representing them as self-confident women who refuse to be seen only as sex objects.

    The lady in Small Pin-up (Finger Wag) (2013), who is aware of being the subject of the viewer’s gaze, makes a gesture of denial towards the viewer.
