Reflexion Study Container Object, 2019.
This piece is born from a reflection on the social reification of women, creating a literary parallel between two beings that have been silenced: the woman and the flower.
"The one who recognized the beauty and power of the flower chose to contemplate it—and to possess it. In doing so, whether aware or not, he cut its root and caused its death. The same occurred when that same figure stripped his partner of her greatest virtues, displaying her without choice or voice, as a relic of his possession."
The object expresses this concept. It frames femininity, seemingly glorifying it, while simultaneously exposing its contradiction: a body immobilized, made uncomfortable, legs spread—drawing attention to the two most traditionally revered feminine traits—beauty and reproductive capacity.
The being is not present. What remains is the image: a container.
A reflection that generates an object stripped of agency, transformed into an aesthetic element, contemplated solely for its beauty.
