The Applicant is a small, curated collection of five images inspired by the eponymous poem by Sylvia Plath. The poem is a dramatic monologue in which a salesperson rigorously interviews a man who has applied to buy a wife. The poem satirizes rampant consumerism and patriarchy, exploring ways these forces pressure people to conform to narrow roles.

This particular photo is called 'Will you marry it', a sentence from The Applicant:

It works, there is nothing wrong with it. You have a hole, it's a poultice. You have an eye, it's an image. My boy, it's your last resort. Will you marry it, marry it, marry it.

Important note: I've created this collection in collaboration with my sister, Charlotte Bedaux, a very talented photographer and painter, who came up with the concept.
