| dc.description.abstract | This multidisciplinary installation is composed of the following: three large frames covered with small fragmented mirrors each containing a portrait painting, an assemblage, two head sculptures that have their own pedestal, three life-sized sculptures, an installation made up of numerous fingers on artificial grass, and a sculpture of a large hand holding a head between two fingers. Each of these works explores concepts of gender, sexuality, identity, and beauty and references different aspects of these definitions through various techniques and materials. Some works, directly/and indirectly, depict the subject of gender and stimulate feelings such as love, desire, beauty, grotesqueness, irony, death, fear, melancholy, glamour, tragedy, grief, and rejection. We all experience these feelings in different ways when remembering moments in our lives. I attempt to share these feelings and emotions through the doors of gender. | en_US |
