Womanliness

Case 2

Case 2 It’s a fantasy about a fantasy of real life. The literal example of one is not born a woman but becomes one. A body sized box, filled with taboos pride and shame. The conflict of being yourself but having to hide it.. Becoming the other, as a mirror to society by singling themselves out. Giving the world something to blame. Setting a stage for a dystopian lifestyle born by the delusions and failures of the system. I wanted to create a mirror effect where the viewer might be faced with aspects within our society that are not accepted to talk about them and maybe in a first glance doesn’t recognize himself in it or even feel repulsed.

This work is part of the project Womanliness, which explores women and the ways they are perceived across time—by society, by one another, and by themselves. Through characters enclosed within symbolic spaces, Womanliness reflects inherited behaviors, belief systems, and embodied roles.
Built through symbols and metaphors—fabric, texture, light, and sound—Womanliness captures moments of fragmented intimacy, where identity shifts and the familiar becomes unrecognizable.
