LARA CROFT

Overview
Becoming Lara Croft is a journey about Rosa’s invisible childhood friend. A friend which would run along and shape-shift beside her. The fictional character known from the game Tomb Raider was an inspiration source for her; a strong and independent adventurer. Her image of Lara was unique considering what the image of Lara was to the rest of the world. Lara was being seen as an empty character without a personality and most of all known as a symbol of sex.
