Inspired by modern posthumanist concepts, Woman's ID explores the body as a place of identity in an increasingly digital world. The present project presents a counterpoint to the trend of desomatization accelerated by virtual environments, reaffirming how fundamentally important the physical being - the body - is for connection and understanding of the self. It also positions the body as an archive that contains the history of individuals and groups, and depicts a story that resonates through its shape, texture, and fragility. By pushing her breasts to the fore as vessels of memory and meaning, tries to draw the audience into the layered narrative etched into the human body.
In this quest, the "Woman’s ID" is symbolized by the nipple. By focusing on this intimate area, the body of work challenges persistent social taboos surrounding female nudity and sexuality. Presented from a variety of perspectives, as a symbol of mother-child bonding and nutrition, or as a testament to personal strength in the face of fear and illness, this project explores the cultural dynamics surrounding women's physicality. We are further deepening our dialogue. And it contributes to the ongoing effort to remove the stigma attached to the natural side of femininity, encouraging viewers to embrace its richness and complexity.
