On a white exhibition wall you find two art pieces. The piece on the left is a small acrylic painting of tourists visiting Mount Rushmore. On the right is a tryptic of paintings. The first two are on stretched canvas of the same size and the third is on a larger piece of canvas. All three of them have the phrase “am I lovely” in pink, bubbly letters. The first two are depictions of South Asian women, dressed in traditional garments applying or holding bleaching cream and the third shares images and text about beauty standards.
