FLESH NARRATIVE

I view my work as an opportunity to translate contemporary feminist discourse into compelling

visual narratives. Grounded in raw personal experience, these narratives carry an abject yet

resonant quality, expressing a profound sense of loss. In my photo-based work, I use a black-

and-white palette to strip the scene down to the tension embedded within. The blurred, grainy

abstract imagery jolts the viewer into an emotional engagement with the underlying story

conveyed through symbolism and composition. My intention is to leave a lasting impression

that may also prompt self-reflection.

In Flesh Narrative, the pregnant mannequins capture the notion of women as objects—mere

vessels lacking agency. Headless, they represent disposability and objectification of women,

echoing the ongoing quest for reproductive rights, resonating in contemporary feminist

discourse. A snow covering evokes both purity and erasure–reflecting society's attempts to

silence or dismiss feminine strength and individuality. It suggests coldness, vulnerability,

isolation and emptiness which starkly contrast with the warmth typically associated with

warmth of human presence; notably absent yet palpably felt. The irregular contours of the

snow against the smooth artificial bodies create a visual metaphor underscoring the rigidity of

societal constructs in contrast to nature's fluidity. Further depth emerges from the ambiguous

reflections in the fragments of a broken mirror. These allude to the distorted self-perception

that often follows the loss of autonomy—mirroring the distortion of women’s bodies and rights.
