As with the aim behind Croquet’s photo series, she told BuzzFeed, “Women, consumption, retouching, cosmetics, aging, beauty, those all come to mind, but truly those issues are up for debate. I feel people need a more spiritual approach to life and good fun,” she said. “I’m happy to give them that, even if I’m just making fun of myself.”
