This is Untitled (Self-Portrait with Sun Tan) made in 2003. Sherman often bases many of her photographs as her posing as female cliche's. This caught my eye because I feel like at one point in time, in the past or even now in present day, being overly tan to the point of being orange is a typical female stereotype. The lady's tan is so exaggerated that she almost matches the bright, warm orange and yellow background. The subject looks as if she's proud of her tan, even wearing a tube top to show those hard, distinct tan lines. She kind of reminds of me of Fiona, the evil stepmother in A Cinderella Story. Many of Sherman's works are very odd, yet very amusing.
