LEVITATION TEA PARTY
This project delves into the multifaceted nature of femininity in today's society, seeking a holistic understanding through interdisciplinary research, including psychology, philosophy, and art. I strive to transcend traditional female identity notions, embracing a broader spectrum of characteristics across genders. My work critically examines the nuances within femininity, considering cultural contexts, gender dynamics, and evolving female identities. By studying diverse representations of femininity from artists and philosophers, I integrate body language and materiality to craft distinctive sculptures. These, combined with recycled materials in modern installations, create an immersive environment promoting audience engagement and redefining identity perceptions. This endeavor epitomizes my comprehensive exploration of femininity.
Exploring the depths of personal history and formative experiences, this work seeks to reconstruct and redefine self-perception through the lens of abstract sculptural forms.
