Pogudz is intrigued by consumerism and 21st century beauty concepts and portrays them satirically, questioning our obsession with perfectionism and idealism. She depicts female figures and their relationship with physical objects of desire: beauty and lifestyle products, fashion accessories, exploring women’s representation in social media.
