Avoid Diminutives

A feminine diminutive is a form of a word that indicates smallness, typically used to modify a feminine noun. Here the diminutive is explored through the female presenting body in contrast to the camera, the cis het male gaze. The juxtapositions of strength vs softness and stoicism vs playfulness are viewed through the body language and intentional choices of confronting the presence of the camera in a combative, self declarative stare and at other times turning away in an inward, self protective stance.
