Window shopping raises questions about conventionalism. From the male perspective, on the other hand, the female fits the stereotype of being available.
Moreover, the idea is that behavioral and psychological differences between the sexes have biological causes that have remained for a lifetime, and there is no winning or losing in every way.
The glass window projects one’s soul. The other images, such as the signs, are us; the words are our universe. We mirror her actions, fulfilling what we may wish to feel, think, or be adverse to for her when, in reality, it is only an assumption.
Also, window shopping explores the stereotypes from the male and female perspectives—their perspective regarding their assumptions about appearance.
The advertisement is number one on this list. From fashion magazines to home décor magazines, the woman is presented as slim and perfect.
Hence, a man must look sharp and intelligent under any circumstances. But, unfortunately, we live in a society where appearance is too much to put up. There is no right or wrong for not looking suitable to other expectations.
From a technical aspect, layers and tones recreate transparency to create a collage look. The glazing reflects backward letters on most of the model body. Notice once more that she is almost hiding behind these elements. The focal point is on her face, pointing at the sign recalling to open.
Her beauty, in contrast, is intoxicating, and we can not escape it. She is not for sale; she is just attending the store. However, boutiques in Manhattan are energetic and appealing. In the end, they induce you to buy.
In conclusion, assuming ideas creates false findings and can get us in deep trouble. It is better to let the path run its course by observing and being discreet.
