HEADLINE 2022 is an ongoing photography series, inspired by the tragicomedy genre, where dark humor meets shocking tragedies. HEADLINE 2022 invokes the intended response of both the tragedy and the comedy in the viewer, where comedy acts as a coping mechanism to reflect the pain from presented headlines.

The series is based on women and the LGBTQAI+ community suffering from various negative outcomes birther by patriarchy. Empowering photographs have been layered with problematic statements, which have dug deep roots in our current society. Using outrageous magazine headlines as a channel for this artwork, Piibemaa draws attention to the absurd, backhanded statements, which are blurted out in casual conversations and even in authentic journalism channels. Most photographs are self-portraits of the artist. All of the headlines in this series have been, at one point in her life, directly addressed to or lived by the artist.
