Artist Statement

​

The female experience is a vast tapestry, woven with countless threads of individuality and perception. Through the blend of digital manipulation, collage, and painting, I craft narratives that delve into the intricacies of womanhood. By abstracting the female form, I invite viewers to reflect on their perceptions and confront the pervasive objectification of women.

 

My work features hyper-sexualized poses sourced from advertisements, social media, and occasionally images of myself, emphasizing the media’s formidable power to weave deceptive tales of femininity. Through my unique form of camouflage, I blur the boundaries between subject and object, subverting the male gaze and providing the figures with a sense of protection. This artistic strategy illuminates the relentless scrutiny women face, presenting a visceral exploration of the female experience under the omnipresent lens of observation.

 

In this space, I unravel personal narratives and collective histories, creating a sanctuary for contemplation and introspection. Here, viewers can explore the complex interplay of patriarchy, femininity, and objectification, and their intertwined existence. My art aspires to encapsulate the profound complexity of the female experience, offering an authentic portrayal of the varied facets that define femininity.
