In this multimedia project, I submit myself to controlled pain through violent acts of self-flagellation to realize “female empowerment” while mirroring historical accounts of female oppression and socially taboo scenarios.
The performances and resulting images transmute internalized shame and hatred of the female body into a bold command of its strength and its power to endure.
