“Performance is a process of claiming myself and my ideas within a constraint I build.
Yoko Ono's Cut Piece, Pina Bausch's Muller cafe and Keith Arnatt's Self Burial are among the performative works that influence my practice.”
PINKBOX is a sculpture, an installation, a vessel for performance. It is a simple box—but it represents all the boxes each of us lives within: society, culture, race, and gender.
Born out of grief and loss, the performance embodies a woman’s determination to overcome the sorrow of abandoning herself. The box becomes a womb, a cupboard a child hides in, a threshold to cross - personal, political, environmental, and universal.
PINKBOX seeks to explore how we navigate the roles we inhabit—and what it takes to transform our relationship to the box.
Nothing is as simple as it appears.
