In this recent body of work, the artist explores the shameful, rewarding, and violent consumption of bodies, and particularly those of girls who are coming of age. Through the positioning of her subjects, she invites viewers to identify with these conflicting realities.

Often using hair as a symbol for the well-established social and aesthetic rules that society imposes upon girls from an early age, Hawksley contrasts fragility and beauty with violence and constraint.
