I have chosen to display the femme fatale work on a rounded table with very traditionally feminine fabrics. My aim was to create a hyper-feminine and almost kitsch display (as seen in today's 'tumblr feminist' art) which plays on the presumed role of the femme fatale as well as providing a juxtaposition between the safety and innocence of what could be a tea party set up with the phallic symbolism of the bananas. She stares directly ahead with intensity, the unpeeled bananas presumably in her control. The hand is unknown but almost certainly female and it grasps the banana as it would a gun. Thus referring back to old movie posters of seductive women holding guns (innuendo for the femme fatale's control over a man and in particular his genitalia).
