VENUS (2025)

She's called Venus, a being of beauty and love who rises from silky restraints...

VENUS is a hardback photo book which examines the fragile architecture of female identity, shaped by internal narratives and external pressures. The studio becomes a theatre of performance, with the artist's own body used to explore the construction and contortion of identity. Descending into the shadows of sexual violence and misogyny, illuminating how these experiences can fracture self-perception and distort reality, the body becomes a battleground, its movements a visceral expression of the struggle. Furthermore, the act of stitching is used to delve into the physical implications of this violence, weaving a narrative of misogyny.Through the different aspects of the body a new self is constructed, portraying the internal and unspoken dialogue that comes with shifting perspectives.

She’s called Venus, a being of beauty and love who rises from silky restraints,

Cradling her body, she curls into herself in a death bed weaved by an arachnid,

She writhes and grows sharp teeth, waiting to bite down on the spider’s head.
