The prologue to Princess Pea’s work, an anonymous female performance artist, is an oversized toy head that appears to have escaped anime land. The saucer-eyed mask cannot talk, hear, or smell and entails no ordinary theatrical show. It instead sits on the shoulder of a living body, the heaviness of it symbolizing the weight of societal constructs of beauty. It casually walks around art fairs or occasionally ascends on the heads of various other women, acting as a filter between its protagonists and the world. It also straddles the many lives that women lead in a lifetime; simultaneously raising awareness among them, and challenging the world's preconceived notions of femininity and womanhood. Princess Pea created this alter-ego back in 2009 and has since worked on multiple women-led initiatives involving housewives, small entrepreneurs, differently-abled women, and those subjected to abuse and body image issues. Her practice has also evolved into hand-made toys in collaboration with the craftsmen of Etikoppaka - displayed in various exhibitions held across Goa, Delhi, London, etc. This well-known series of miniature sculptures are inspired by women, with one based on the artist and her sister's experience of being body shamed to fit into society's conventional mold of beauty and desirability.
