A reflection on the female masquerade, with the costumes and embellishments a woman is taught to wear in society. Catherine scrutinised the female image which is often based on an outwardly enforced discipline, the submission to which is monitored and controlled by society, constantly and through all stages of life. It was also a metaphor of the internal resistance to this coercion, and thus illustrated the conflict from which the female body suffers throughout life. The series provided an insight into the unpredictable everyday traps that are encountered when crossing between the realms of culture and nature, between domestication and wilderness.
