This series, created between 2000 and 2002, captures archetypes from suburban American life through a more traditional approach to portraiture. The images present seemingly unremarkable characters—figures one might encounter in everyday life—yet their exaggerated makeup and carefully constructed appearances hint at deeper narratives. Whether an aging socialite or a former film star, each portrait blurs the line between individual identity and cultural stereotype, revealing aspirations, illusions, and the passage of time.

"I wanted pretty pictures of older women - women who are trying too hard but succeeding - pulling off an extreme look. What I didn't know would creep into the portraits was a vulnerability behind the strong facade that most of them wear." – Cindy Sherman
