Sketch number one is about the abuse and demands that women are given and feel to be beautiful and fit a mold. This would be around Marilyn Monroe's iconic dress/grate photo and would include two others of her. The one on the far right is a candid where she is looking away from everyone around her and the one on the bottom left is another candid from a set where she is taking a break lying next to a dog (which I would remove).
This second sketch would be about mental illness and the affects of the illness itself and how others treat it and it's sufferers. A man yelling could represent abuse causing the issues or someone fighting against the reality of depression, anxiety, etc., or could be someone's inner self yelling at themself. There's a (terribly drawn) demon to represent inner demons. There is someone shushing and someone walking away. The person on the bottom in the middle is the sufferer. The person on the bottom left is ignoring the sufferer.
This final one is not something I'm really feeling, it's underdeveloped and just doesn't want to be here. The main photo which would be towards the top in the center would be Rosie the Riveter. The "Freedom Trash Can" is from an iconic photo from the 1968 Miss American Pageant where women threw away "feminine" products, items aimed at women to make them more attractive or household items that they were required to wield. This would be moved from the bottom right to the left allowing the photo of a woman taken from a demonstration in San Fransisco in 1969 who removed her bra to be down beside it, connecting the two events and appearing that the woman is throwing her bra away with those from the previous year. I was also thinking of adding destroyed "feminine" items and maybe photos of women doing "masculine" things.
