Catfish- Poster

The term “Catfish” has a negative connotation to most people, whether it’s associated with someone who creates a false identity online to lure someone in or the swampy, bottoming feeding fish with whiskers. This series of illustrations seeks to challenge perceptions of beauty and grotesque, by combining the alluring depiction of ethereal women and flora from the Art Nouveau period, and the repulsion associated with the actual catfish and its environment. This particular blend of form and content also serves as a commentary on the colloquial use of the term “catfish”, often used to denigrate women who appear different in a candid moment from a posed and perfected photo.
