Concept: Drawing loosely on a theoretical framework, including archeologist Marija Gimbutas and her Kurgan Matrilinear hypothesis, in this work I investigates the political body of women, the return of the feminine - intended as all modes of being (her/their) - and the personification/incarnation of the woman as a creatrix, fighter and destroyer.
Envisaged as archeological dystopian assemblages and exploring mythological and personal narratives, these works to me are apotropaic sculpture-amulets and esoteric spaces, from which one can resist the repressive discriminatory framework of patriarchal culture. Through the challenging process of casting the intangible air from oxygen canisters in cement, my intention was also to reflect on the collective and personal feeling of anxiety brought upon the current ecological emergencies.
