Iconoclasm

While researching this subject, I immediately related iconoclasm with the art created by Orlan. Iconoclasm is  the purposeful destruction and reconstruction of religious icons.  Even though Orlan was not intending to offend any particular religion, her self hybridization portraits emphasize beauty in different cultures.  This would be considered iconoclastic because it makes the viewers wonder and criticize those cultures.
