Playing on the phrase, 'Chivalry is Dead,' she brings it back to life by giving life to the deceased gentlemen. Her artwork depicts many zombified men doing random and chivalrous acts of kindness. From tackling down a mugger to mopping the floor with the stringy hair from their own head, the range of chivalrous acts span from the golden days of courtliness to modern day ideals.
