Central to Wise's artistic inquiry is the exploration of the history of portraiture, with a particular focus on the intricate construction of identity. She delves into the complex interplay between consumption and image-making, shedding light on the ways in which advertising, fashion, and multinational brands influence consumptive habits. Employing parody and satire, Wise critiques how the body is framed and manipulated within these societal constructs.
