This print edition of Baby Girl, titled Little Baby Girl captures a layered interplay of innocence and masked defiance. Our protagonist — a blonde girl in anime-styled pigtails, her open mouth framed by shiny acrylic nails—holds a rainbow swirl lollipop in a gesture that is both playful and unnervingly assured. With her face posed against a mountainous landscape, her skin glows with an orange hue, and her chin is sharply geometric, challenging the softened innocence often ascribed to young girls. Drawing inspiration from Tiqqun’s Theory of a Young Girl, this piece questions the assumption that youthful femininity equates to harmlessness. Crystal rhinestones embellish the print, invoking the playful dress-up aesthetics of "Pretty Pretty Princess" while exposing the artifice and power in adornment. In line with references to George Condo’s expressive distortions, Picasso’s forms, and Lichtenstein’s pop iconography, Little Baby Girl treads the line between innocence and bold self-presentation, creating a nuanced, layered figure that defies easy categorization.
Of ART FOR CHANGE’s initiative of supporting When We All Vote, Zuckerman notes, "Voting is one of the most powerful tools we have to shape our communities. For me, the act of voting embodies the values of agency—principles that are deeply embedded in my art. My work often explores themes of identity, empowerment, and amplifying historically marginalized voices. In the same way that art challenges and reshapes narratives, voting transforms society by strengthening diverse perspectives and driving change. This cause is particularly important to me because I believe a fair and representative democracy requires everyone's involvement.Partnering with ART FOR CHANGE and When We All Vote allows me to support an initiative that not only raises awareness but actively works to ensure that every voice matters. This mission aligns closely with both my artistic practice and my personal convictions."
ART FOR CHANGE will donate five percent of the unframed purchase price of sales through December 1st, with a $10,000 minimum commitment, to support When We All Vote’s mission to increase voter participation in this crucial election year.
