'''Visual'''<br> | |||
Upon entering, the audience is welcomed by the artist's body intertwined with materials, standing at the center of the space. They are invited to participate by walking around the artist in a prescribed zone, thereby influencing the movements of the materials on her body. Through this interaction, the project aims to create a critical space for contemplation of the violence and struggle faced by the female body. As the performance unfolds, it highlights the contrast between the fluidity of our changing bodies and the still, frozen images created by the patriarchal system and entertainment industry. | |||
