Polka challenges cultural limitations. Juxtaposing the ultrafeminine, 1950’s style dress with powerful tools that are used to shape and transform our built and natural environment creates a stark hybrid between what is perceived as feminine and masculine. The polka dots themselves emulate society’s pattern of thinking regarding gender stereotypes attempting to consume her. Through combining the two, the gender binary is broken, and society can begin to grow. Instead of woman being perceived as passive in society, action and power enrich her. Her confidence is exuded through the dominant red colour.
