More about I Drive With No Hands

“I Drive With No Hands” is a digital photograph that investigates themes of female sexuality against the backdrop of a traditionally conservative setting—one that implicitly demands obedience and submission. The image is anchored by a historically resonant set design, featuring a 1972 Cadillac Eldorado and an archival Valentino overcoat, both chosen to evoke a sense of temporal dissonance. These elements ground the work in an era marked by gendered expectations, while the styling introduces contemporary cues that challenge those norms. The subject’s expression—marked by a brooding defiance—serves as a visual counterpoint, embodying a deliberate transgression of convention.
