 **__Master of Disguise__**  By: Ashlyn Roberts

**The Master of Disguise criticizes the perception and roles of the modern female.** The woman in this box represents females in society that have a "masked identity" and are lost to who they truely are. Society's expectations on females is made clear in this box. In the box, the paperclip ring represents society's expectation of getting married. The car with all the children in it represents the stay-at-home perception of a woman's job. The bug being squished by a "broom" signifies the expectation for women to cook and clean the household as well as take care of the children. the coins represents the money and bills that are a constant worry in the average household. This woman in particular is juggling too much on her plate (the three bouncy balls) and in the process of conforming to society's expectations of the modern day woman, she has lost herself and isn't truely doing what she wants to do with her life. The party popper with the confetti that is still kind of hidden by the mask shows that the woman is thinking about letting her true self shine through, but she hasnt broken society's mold of her yet. Society's expectation of the modern woman is too demanding and degrading, not allowing this woman in particular to fulfill her dreams and do something more significant with her life. This woman does not want to just go through the motions of life and get swallowed up by it in the process.
