Bag of Aspirations by Kalliopi Lemos features in Leeds Live.
"'Bag of Aspirations' by Greek sculptor Kalliopi Lemos is a colossal replica of Hermes' famous Birkin bag, a single accessory which fetches hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The exhibit, forged in 2018, represents materialism and how feminity is defined by restrictive ideals of beauty and behaviour. This expensive and highly-sought-after bag has become associated with luxury and exclusivity, embodying the values and desires of a consumer culture."
