Endangered Species: Billie Eilish

•
#S002

This vintage female mannequin torso had a vague resemblance to the remarkable singer Billie Eilish.

Naturally, when I purchased it, she was nude and only the eyes resembled Billie. However, after a repair and repaint, new lipstick, glasses, clothing, and her neon green hair… it is a very close resemblance. 

I reached out and purchased a Victorian birdcage; a metaphor for singing like a bird. The Victorian doll necklace I built also looks like the singer… “I’m the real Billie Eilish.” 

I’ve also added many bird-watching accouterments to create further narratives.
