The grotesque elements in my sculptures are intended to be a form of resistance, refusing to sanitize the violence and oppression that women and non-human animals face. They are a blatant confrontation, encouraging viewers to realize the harsh realities that persist in our society. This visceral quality of my work is deliberately unsettling, forcing individuals to engage with the discomfort that arises when we acknowledge the cruelty and violence that underpins our everyday existence. My interdisciplinary approach allows me to draw connections between the seemingly disparate experiences of women and non-human animals, amplifying the voices of the oppressed and challenging the oppressive systems that perpetuate their suffering. Through my work, I hope to foster dialogue and influence viewers to question their passive role in these systems and to join the ongoing struggle for justice, equitability, and compassion.
