*Quick help needed in art project featuring ayu!*

I would like to ask for help, ideas and suggestions from you guys!

So, we got an assignment from our art teacher. The task is following:
-> Choose one celebrity who interests you. [x ayu]
-> Think about the image this celebrity has. What kind of it is in the media? How you personally see this celebrity? What kind of image the celebrity herself/himself gives? etc.
-> The task is to, for example make a collage of the chosen celebrity and then show her/him in a different light. [You can also draw. If you make a collage remember to make interesting design for it. You can use writing as well. It is acceptable to use imagination.] For example, if the said celebrity is mainly shown in positive light in the media, make him/her the opposite. [a.k.a make him/her look bad/ugly/mean, ahahaha, how cruel is that! XD] You can also highlight one particular "little mistake" the celebrity has. [Really, this sounds more and more cruel :,D]

So guys, help me please~ In general, what kind of image ayu has in the media? I think she's quite respected, but I also heard that some seem to think that she is just a diva...I dunno, tell me~

What kind of pics should I use? Or just draw something? [I thought of making a collage...]

And also, how should I present her? I don't find it really amusing to present her in a bad light. But it's the point of this project to make her look completely opposite she actually is so...

The project starts tomorrow, so I would like to get as much tips as possible! Thanks~ ^_^

Side note: When I watched the 2004 document made of ayu, I found it interesting that ayu herself [at least was, I'm not so sure if that's the case anymore as it seemed that the "super popularity years" involved huge stress on her] controls her image pretty strictly. Usually it's said that "it's the fault/policy of the record company" but I see that ayu herself was pretty strict about it, if not even more than Avex.
I think, in the early years of her career, she saw someone called "Ayumi Hamasaki" as a completely different person than she as a human actually is. Some kind of machine or a product who produces dreams and happiness to everyone. [It's also noticeable in the early interviews of her career] Also, how she refers "Ayumi Hamasaki" in 3rd person during work..it supports that theory.
Nowadays though, I think she has opened up more, kinda shown her real self in media too. [And of course, I think she has always shown her true self to the fans] She doesn't refer "Ayumi Hamasaki" like a different person anymore, does she?
When she speaks in her early working documents, instead of saying "I would like to do it like this" she says "I thought Ayumi Hamasaki would do it like this" it's like she isn't comfortable of being the highlighted superstar she is in the public. She wants to reject that fame she has as an artist. She isn't clearly ready to show her real self as the artist "Ayumi Hamasaki" during this time yet, expect in her lyrics.

I just thought could I do something out of those thoughts ayu had during that time, and the thoughts she has now?
