为了庆祝国际妇女节，美国摄影师Patty Carroll拍摄了一组名为《匿名女性》的摄影作品。该系列探索了家庭生活的两面性，以及“家”对于不同女性的意义。卡罗尔认为，有时候，家是一个舒适的地方，做一个“呆在家里”的母亲或妻子是一种理想的生活方式。
In honour of International Women’s Day, we’re showing some love to American photographer Patty Carroll’s ongoing series Anonymous Women, which explores the dichotomy of domesticity, and what ‘the home’ means to different women. Carroll suggests that sometimes, home is a place of comfort, where being a ‘stay at home’ mother or wife is an aspirational lifestyle.
卡罗尔认为，无论如何，女性都需要“一个属于自己的房间”。该系列的跨文化参考涉及文艺复兴时期的披挂雕像、修女们的习俗、穿着罩袍的妇女、牧师和法官的长袍、古希腊和罗马服饰，以及圣母玛利亚等。
In any and all cases, Carroll asserts that women need “a room of their own.” The series’ cross-cultural references span Renaissance-era draped statues, nuns in habits, women wearing the burka, priests and judge’s robes, ancient Greek and Roman dress, and the Virgin Mary among others.
卡罗尔的场景异想天开，风格鲜明，每一幅画面都截然不同。这些女人是没有脸的，隐藏的，因此可以代表任何女人。她们显得拘谨、压抑、放松还是拘束，很大程度上取决于个人的解读。
Carroll’s sets are whimsical and highly stylised, each image distinct from the other. The women are faceless, hidden, and therefore representative of any woman. They appear restrained, muffled, relaxed, cocooned; a lot lies with individual interpretation.
