This self-portrait is an appropriation of "Ingrid Bergman: Herself" by Andy Warhol. In the original work, Warhol’s visual rhetoric of advertising and the mass media transforms the image of the celebrity into a commodity. Then, placing the image of a celebrity with myself, an ordinary person, follows the characteristics of the Pop art movement using pre-existing objects in art with little transformation of the original, serves to critique the exploitation of images of female celebrities and the stereotypical portrayal of women.
