A Glass Ceiling is a metaphor used to represent an invisible
barrier that keeps a certain demographic (typically applied to minorities) from
rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy. The Glass Ceiling
installation is a metaphor for women breaking through the social barriers and
limitations and a celebration of new feminist movements #metoo and #timesup The
piece consists of a broken glass chess board with the chess pieces floating
above the board; pink pieces represent women and face the white spiked pieces
referencing white supremacy. The chess pieces are set according to the 31st
move in a 2012 rapid game between Magnus
Carlsen and Judith Polgar. The 31st move that defined Polgar's victory. Polgar
is a chess grandmaster; generally considered the strongest female chess player
of all time.
