Feminism continues to expand and spread all over the world. Women everywhere are challenging conservative notions of their capabilities and roles in society.

By informing the public of the issues women face, they unite people to work towards securing equal rights, opportunities and importance. The steel represents feminism, and the wood, society. The steel lines move together in a calculated uniform manner, surrounding and gripping onto the structured wooden shape. The trophy symbolizes women uniting and supporting each other in protest against society’s standards.

I am honored to be given the opportunity to design an award for such an important cause as women’s emancipation.

I hope the receiver of this prize feels acknowledgement for their hard work and is inspired to continue fighting for the emancipation of women.
